Scared they’re going to say she has weeks to live

Hi Doingmybest and welcome to the forum though i know nobody wants to be here, I am sorry to hear of your mums diagnosis and can understand your feelings as i lost my mum to cancer and was her only support too, I have anal cancer and I know metastatic spread to distant organs is very rare and i think your thought that you only have weeks if diagnosed is very pessimistic I am glad your mum seems well, if i were you that is what i would be focusing on, though i know from experience that can be difficult, please take care.

Thanks Eddie. Spoke to the colorectal nurse. Macmillan really are amazing. They’ve sent me to my GP who I’m seeing tomorrow. Trying to figure out how to hold myself together!

I wish you well in your treatment 

Hi Doingmybest, Macmillan are angels, hope your GP appointment includes home support for your mum and you as it is so important, You will find a way to care for your mum because you love her but don't forget to care for yourself as well, give yourself a little time every day to do something you like doing to relax, as it really helps you emotionally and to better care for your mum. thank you for your good wishes but I'm not treatable. please take care.

Eddie
