Hello all, I really needed to come in today as I'm just desperate to get some help.
Mum has breast cancer and last year found out it had spread to her bones. It seemed to be well under control but around 3 weeks ago she started feeling unwell. The doctors scanned and scanned and found some liver mets.
I have spoke to the consultants who read the scans. Light load on the liver, liver function is OK, no jaundice, good candidate for treatment. But she's home from hospital and we are managing the inflammation etc.
Dad is at work, my husband is at work in another city, its just me in the house, this quiet house looking after mum who is sleeping quite a bit as her meds are making her drowsy.
In speaking to her consultant he sounded positive but since Monday she has been home and I'm here on my own until after 5 when my dad comes home.
The worry is eating me alive at the moment. I can't seem to retain the positives in my head from the consultant, I'm so tired and so frightened that I don't know what to do. I wake up and remember and I just feel so low and helpless, worrying about the future.
Please help.
