Long story short, mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer back in 2023, she had the tumour removed but was so unwell as went wrong the following year she had to have her kidney removed. Fast forward  few months 2024 she was told she had secondary cancer.

Clear cell carcinoma and spread to the omemtum. Mom didn’t have preventative chemo first time round as she was so unwell.

Moms now had 3 rounds and they are now concerned it’s spread to her Brain and other areas. 

What we know is that moms cancer isn’t curable it’s rare and aggressive. 

Trying to come to terms with what’s happening. We only have a small family and my only sibling my brother isn’t coping well at all and going off the rails.

I’m currently taking meds to help me process what’s happening but to know my mom will lose her life is a daunting thing for me.

  • Hi  

    Sorry to hear about your mum, it does sound like your family has been through a lot already. 

    Hope you manage to make the most of all the time you have together. I wonder if talking to someone might help your brother - I know how useful I found it when I walked in to Maggies that first time and of course both of you are welcome to speak to someone on the helpline if that might help.

    <<hugs>>
