Hi my mum was diagnosed with liver cancer two days ago. Unfortunately the doctor is unable to perform a liver transplant. Her tumor is 11cm in size. We have to wait another three days to find out if a doctor will perform surgery to remove the tumor.
Before the diagnosis when mass was officially found and an MRI scan was performed mum had a moderate stroke. She is 56 and I hope they will perform surgery. The waiting for decisions are so hard. I feel sad for my dad, brothers, sister and niece. Obviously for my mum too. I just hope surgery will be performed. At the moment I cry and have nightmares. I am starting to feel I have lost my appetite and struggle with the thought of work as all I want to do is spend every second with my mum.im meant to work Christmas but I will ask for the day off as want to spend it with mum. I struggle to work Sundays now as all I want to do is see my mum on that special day. Sorry if I sound selfish but I just saw this support group and wanted to say how I feel.
