Not so good news

1 minute read time.

well mum got the results of her scan last week and it showed the tumour in her chest had shrunk by another centimetre only in the last 12 weeks. they are talking about now giving her a few more chemo sessions and some radiotherapy. the tumour is now down to 5cm by 3cm compared to original 10cmx10cm. i am so worried she is not going to get rid of this.

 

the chemo worked amazingly in the first four sessions, but seems to have slowed down or stopped. does anyone know how well radiotherapy workls, do they have to get the tumour to a certain size before they can zap it with radio? i thought maybe they would just give her radiotherapy now

 

i feel like crying all the time im so scared mum isnt going to get rid of this. i feel sick all the time. i dont know if this means mum isnt going to beat cancer :(

i cant bring myself to do anything excpet go to work and come home cos i just worry myself sick constantly and life has lost its enjoyment.

 

has anyone had the same experience as my mum? i dont want her to go through this anymore.

i went to a tarot card reading the other week there and the psychic told me mum was going to be fine and that december to -april was a big time for recovery in my family. i am just trying to hold on to this

 

much love x x x
