Trying to navigate life with our recent news my mum was diagnosed at the end of January and with that we also found out she had a 9cm aortic aneurysm and we all just overwhelmed and that I it’s self brought more complications as chemo wasn’t an option that weekend she then had a minor heart attack and was in hospital for a week so no biopsy which she can’t get because of the blood thinners we have just came out of another hospital stay to the novavirrus so now just last week my mum has had her pet scan and next week we go to find out my mums choices.
What’s for the best and least aggressive as that’s what my mum wants. I have a sister who says she feels like that and has semi moved in with my mum as she’s on her own but I know she really wants my mum to have some treatment my mim has never been ill in her life so this is a huge shock to us all and I don’t want her to no longer be here but don’t want to see her struggle anymore than she’s beginning to.
how do we navigate all this
