My aunt has been told she only has months left to live. She was diagnosed in Oct 2021 with stage 4 ovarian cancer which had already spread to several bones and lymph nodes.
Recent scan showed that it had now gone to her kidneys.
She is in quite a bit of pain in her back, not sure if that is to do with the kidneys or spine, so she has an MRI booked next week to hopefully find out.
I live about 2-3 hour drive away from my family (all I have is my mum and my aunt). When I'm busy it helps but at night or when Im on my own, I just cry and can't stop. I keep trying to think back when things were normal, how she looked, jokes she made etc but I'm struggling. She looks so frail and in so much pain, it's hard to see her like this.
It's a massive rollercoaster of emotions at the moment.
I still can't quite get my head around it yet and although I can see how frail she looks, I still can't imagine her not being here. I have a very small family and she has been like a Mum to me.
Sending love to everyone going through hell at the moment. Sarah xx
