Evening all,
Not sure how this works but coming on here as feeling so anxious at the moment. Can’t eat without feeling sick and feel constantly on edge. Dad was diagnosed with stage 2 Lung cancer in Jan. He couldn’t have surgery as was deemed too poorly. He has copd and dementia. He has had radiotherapy and two weeks ago had a scan to see what’s happened to the cancer . I’ve not heard anything yet.
In June mum was rushed into hospital with a blocked bowel and they found a mass in her pelvis. She had her colon removed and a. Biopsy was taken of her mass and it was confirmed to be cancer . Mum had to wait until her body had recovered from op before scans so had her staging scan on same day as dad two weeks ago. She is seeing the surgeon on Monday so guessing we will get results then.
I know cancer can be cured but I feel like I’m grieving already .
its so hard .
just wanted to be able to share as anxiety so high at mo
and i feel poorly with it :(
