its a hard time at the moment by mum had a fall and was taken to hospital and they found she had a tumour to her brain (this effected her mobility) she had an operation on the 24th June 2019 to remove the tumour then we went back on the 26 th this month to find that she actually has lung ,kidney ,brain and groin cancer .
the team have advised that we have only a matter of weeks left with her .
im lost as my mum didn’t want to know how long she had and I just want to cry every time I see her .
i have taken emergency leave from work to be with her but at the moment she is looking well (apart from losing 4stone in a month )
I'm so sorry your going through this. You must feel so lost and helpless. All you can do is be strong for your mum as she must be so scared. We are finding out next week how long my mum will have left. Almost feel like this is all a bad dream. All we can do is support each other through every day at the moment. Sending you and your mum lots of love
I am supporting my Dad who has incurable pancreatic cancer with liver nets. Diagnosed April this year.
He was given less than 6 months which is up at the end of Sept but he has had 4 cycles of gemcitabine and is due to switch to Folfox soon as the liver nets are a concern.
The reason I wanted to comment is that I felt utterly lost at first then Dad got back on his feet and for the last four months he has lived his life as he did pre diagnosis, everything. He has had off days but they have been minimal.
While I realise the worst is yet to come, I am very, very grateful that he has had this time with my Mum and to do normal things.
Dad didn’t want to know how long he had left & still doesn’t. I believe as a result of this, he is able to live as near a normal life as he could. Everyone is different, but you don’t have to know if you don’t want to.
