Hi everyone
My Mum has recently been diagnosed with two different cancers. Firstly she was diagnosed with mouth cancer and told that she could have an operation to remove the tumour but tests have shown that she also has stage 4 lung cancer so an operation is out of the question. Last week we were told that she is terminal, although she can have some radiotherapy on her mouth and possibly chemo on her lungs to give her a bit more time. We are absolutely stunned, particularly as Mum is quite well in herself (apart from her mouth being sore).
Mum has said that she wants to carry on living her life as normal for as long as possible, which is great. But in the back of my mind I know there are going to be some tough times coming. I would be really grateful for some advice around what help and support is available to us when those tough times come.
Thank you.
