My mum was diagnosed with secondary metastatic breast cancer in August it's been a battle and now she is on palliative care as its just a matter of time. My head is all over with mixed emotions as it's been a roller a coaster since her diagnosis.
Covid hasn't helped one bit, because a lot of this she was dealing with alone (as we weren't allowed in the hospital). My mum is Italian and their was a language barrier as she didn't understand a lot of what was being said to her. So to then explain all this second hadn't once were communicated with doctors has been tough too.
I am scared for the next few weeks and what's to come.
