Past 7 months mum diagnosed with breast cancer? All relevant tests bloods scans X-rays etc had mastectomy of right breast? During which they took 32 lymph nodes!! Home to recover with further issues with drain..decisions for her to have chemo x 6 with three week intervals with last two been a higher dose? Providing all goes to plan and she copes well follow on within 7 days a 10 day every day radiotherapy? today asked to see consultant he wants to see and speak to mum as her last chemo due in a few days? Did a chest X-ray a bone/jaw X-ray and bloods took will call in day or two to let her know 1. Nothing goes ahead with no other or further treatment 2. He goes as planned but with lower dose or 3. It all goes ahead as said previously?? What is he thinking or checking or is this normal? We wait and wonder now having come this far?

My mum has cancer again!

My mum had breast cancer first, she had the lump removed then radiotherapy and it was gone phew. Then last year 2020 she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I couldn't believe that she was poorly again what had she done to deserve this? Anyway she's a fighter, she had chemo and a hysterectomy and it was gone again. Then about 2 months later if that it came back seriously give her a break! But this time it had spread to her bowel and stomach and it was stage 4, I cried and cried and haven't really stopped but I cry in private I don't want anyone to know I'm not strong. I'm in my 40s I'm too young to lose my mum, I still need her and always will.

Anyway she's still with us for now but for how long is anybody's guess, she's having chemo again to give her more time but it makes her so poorly. But at least she's still with us
