My best friend of many, many years is losing her battle with stage 4 bowel cancer. We’re just waiting to hear when she’ll be moved to a hospice. My mum also lost her battle with cancer so I have experience with it but this is hitting so much harder. My mum was elderly but my friend isn’t.
She was diagnosed in November after being fobbed off by her GP which I’m really angry about, she presented with all the signs that are on the tv advert but still he didn’t pick it up. I have to let that go. By the time she was diagnosed she was already at secondary stage and it was all too late. They’re saying she just has a few weeks left, she can’t eat, has a stomach drain in which is draining everything she drinks. She’s being supported at home by the nurses until she moves to the hospice.
How do I get through this? I’m so tearful at the moment but I want to get myself in check to be supposed of her.
