My beautiful mum has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a complete shock and has come completely out of the blue. Doctors think it's womb cancer and has gone to the lining of her lung but tests are still on going. Mum had no symptoms atall until too late she's been bleeding for 10 weeks from her cervix but by the time she had this symptom she was stage 4 before this she had none! Het doctor told her 2 months ago she didn't have cancer and she would know if she did! My mum is 72 and if she makes it she will be 73 in March which I think is still young! No-one in my family has or has had cancer so come as a boky out of the blue! I am spending my time reassuring mum and giving her hope she is terrified and begging me not to let her die it's heart breaking. We are currently waiting for them to pinpoint the cancer but most likely womb cancer. Once pinpointed can talk about treatment etc they can't cure her but maybe prolong her life I feel everyday is a gift with her.
