Hi I am new to the group, my mum was diagnosed with bowl cancer and because of other help complications she can't be treated with chemotherapy. She is going to receive end of life palliative care. We as a family are all in shock and mum is having a hard time coming to terms with her diagnosis. I am trying to be there for her but I am really struggling.
