My daughter 43 has been told her cancer is incurable and her prognosis is 18 months- 2 years. She had bowel cancer in October 2024, had chemo and it returned in October 2025 but it was peritoneal cancer this time. Again she had chemo and had HIPEC in June this year. However it has returned there already.
I don’t know how you cope with juggling the mental as well as the physical aspects of this. How do you get it out of your head?
I hope there’s a MacMillan nurse near her to help her. She lives near Ivybridge in Devon
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
