My mum was diagnosed with stomach cancer , on the 1st of December , so it was a shock and Christmas was planned for her and my dad to come to our house in Liverpool ( as mum and dad moved to wales in the feb ) but now plan as changed as she is having stomach removed on 18 th December , I went of work on 27 th on the sick used all my holidays up to that point . So 18 th came god it was awful had to get her to Wrexham hospital by 7 am as it is over hour away left at 5.30 very hard driving in silence with tears in my eyes as my both parents were snuggled up
in the back . We go her there , she went down surgery went well they got all cancer out , but she has to have radiotherapy and chemo incase tiny cancerous particles left . Anyway 12 weeks after surgery chemo tablets started last Monday as did radiotherapy, she was 70 2 weeks previous but couldn’t celebrate . She is struggling with chemo tablets vomiting , shaking , sweating it’s hard to see , iv been home 3 times in this time my live is on hold it’s good job I have amazing supportive husband and mother Inlaw and my 15 year old stays up here with me when he is t in school . but when I go home I get separation anxiety it’s awful
i can’t control it uncontrollable crying panic attacks it’s horrible , I hope by talking about my emotions on here someone else will tell me they feel the same and I won’t feel so weak and useless
