First time posting. My mum was diagnosed last week with a rare type of ovarian cancer the last week has been unbelievable. We have found out it has spread to several organs and her bones. She has been moved to the palliative care ward. She is 61. I am struggling to comprehend how this has happened so quickly. They have said she likely has weeks. She isn’t in pain fortunately. I am devastated and trying to be strong for my mum, who seems calm and at peace. I don’t really know why I’m posting. I can’t stop crying when I’m away from the hospital and I need to pull myself together as I have a family and work full time. I didn’t know you could experience actual heart ache until now.
