Hi
I'm sorry if this posted somewhere else but trying to multitask and put my toddler to bed whilst writing this. My mum is 72 and has stage 4 breast cancer. Her consultant last week halted treatment due to the coronavirus. Is this everyone's experience? I am thinking it is due to her age but even still I cant help but think without the chemotherapy she will deteriorate. But the visit to the hospital will no doubt be stress provoking also to have her blood tests?
Thank you
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear that your mum has breast cancer and that her chemotherapy has been halted due to the coronavirus.
As the community is divided up into groups I'm going to recommend that you join the very friendly breast cancer group where you can ask questions and share experiences with others who have this type of cancer. The group also has a dedicated chemotherapy thread.
I don't know from what you've posted if you are your mum's carer. If you are then the carers only group is a safe and supportive place to share your worries and emotions. As that group is only for carers if you're not your mum's carer then the family and friends group offers the same level of support.
To join any of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be useful if could pop something about your mum's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
