Hi all, my mums got my got lung cancer, stage 3 or 4 they suspect spread to liver.. All the waiting for extra tests and resylts is killing me, will be over a month from first diagnosis. Her health is deteriating so quickly it's shocking, can't believe the difference in just a few weeks. I'm 32 weeks preganf and I do t know if she will still be here to see this baby. I'm so incredibly heartbroken. i feel like I'm grieving already. She seemed so quiet and despreesed today I don't know how to help her just want my mum back x
Hi Hayles38 and welcome to our community.
I think just about everyone on here will relate directly to the comments about waiting on tests and results and , unfortunately, a month is not at all unusual. Often on here we talk about pre-grief and it is very usual as are your mum's emotions. Add to that of course the emotions around expecting a baby does not make things.
