My mum is 64 and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has spread to her liver, plus nodules on her spleen kidneys and lymph nodes. This showed on a ct scan just a few weeks ago. She had a ct scan only 8 months ago that was clear. I'm only 33 and just had a baby. I'm not sure how to deal with this. I'm beyond heartbroken. I'm reaching out to find people I can talk to who may be facing or having faced this heartbreak. Also if any one has any light on this. We're praying she's offered treatment ttomorrow. She faced a ruptured brain aneurysm only a few years ago and had to under go 2 major brain ops. Which she got the all clear in January. How can life be so cruel? I don't know how to get myself through this. She's my best friend.
