Sadly we had a difficult discussion with my Mums oncology team this morning when we were told that her liver cancer had spread and was to advanced to attempt any treatment.
We only got a diagnosis at the end of August and since then it feels like my world has changed completely as the decline seen has been so scary and so cruel. Mum was originally offered an operation to remove the the tumour completely but the rapid growth and spread of the cancer took away all hope of a cure and now treatment also.
I am terrified I will not be able to cope with what is to come both mentally and physically, I am more worried about my mum and her mental state, she is currently in hospital and I hate thinking of her on her own, at this time especially. Has anyone got advice on how to manage emotions and the crippling levels of anxiety that are currently overwhelming. I have 2 young children and need to stay strong to keep some normality in our family home. Thank you all in advance and I am saddened to see so many of you have to go through similar experiences.
