I’m (26f) mad. I’m so mad. I can’t think straight and I’m just so angry
my mum (57) went into hospital on Monday, got diagnosed with bowel tumour with lesions in the liver that was blocking the bile and causing jaundice and kept in for tests. Told her last night, on her own, that there was nothing they could do. The liver isn’t strong enough for chemo. The tumour isn’t even the problem. They can’t sort the liver cos they can’t drain cos the lesions are in multiple places blocking too many ducts. They can’t sort the liver so they can’t start chemo to shrink the tumour for surgery. So there’s nothing they could do. They did no tests over those four days just blood work
they told her this last night. On her own. Just after my grandparents left. Everything they’ve told her, from diagnosis to this piece of shit has been on her own
she had no symptoms. Until the jaundice came we thought she just had a virus or the flu like the whole family had but it went from this to a fucking death sentence within less than a week
im so mad. I don’t understand how they can’t do anything. That they’re just going to send her home to die. My sisters (29) is getting married. She has three kids ones just a baby and I don’t understand how everything can go so wrong so quickly we were planning weddings and christenings and we’re now planning end of life care and I can’t stand it
im thinking anything and everything all the time I don’t know what to do it could be weeks it could be months I’m scared to look I don’t want to know I feel cold and numb and then I feel sick I’m so tired already and I don’t know what to say
i cant live without her
Hi HanBoo
I have left a response to one of your other messages.
I know the emotions that you are going through, or similar ones at least, and having no control, not being able to change things make those emotions even more difficult to bear, but you will.... you are stronger than you can ever imagine.
Thinking of you and your family at this time.
