My mum is 80 years old and was diagnosed with bladder cancer in May 2025 after having treatment we found out in December that the cancer has spread and is now terminal she has gone down hill so much since Christmas she was so active before and was always out with friends and belonged to so many groups I hate seeing her like this !!!!
I am sorry you are going through such a difficult time. I hope your mum is being keeping comfortable. Your mum sounds amazing 80 and a busy social life with many friends too. It is very difficult to see a sudden decline in those we love so much. My only advice i can think of is to except the help and support being offered as this will give you and your mum time as mother and daughter. Sending my thoughts at this difficult time.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
