My mother has been told she has cancer markers and that her iron count has dropped considerably in a short time . The doc said he suspects a small bleed somewhere and wants to do tests but she is refusing. She says she won't want treatment so she doesn't want test. I talked her into the basic still sample tests and now she insists she hasn't had a poop for now three weeks.. I know she's not telling the truth because I care for her..
She's fatigued sleeps alot is weak and has persistent diarrhea. I'm finding it so difficult without an actual diagnosis.. I respect her wishes she has full capacity. It's such a different route to what I would pick. She's 82 and has been depressed since my father passed.. all the family say she seems happier since she had this news that we are upset about .. any advice would be welcome so I presume she has cancer without diagnosis?
