Hello,
Following weeks of extreme anxiety about my Mum's increasingly intense and bizarre symptoms and having to beg for a brain scan, my beautiful Mum was diagnosed with glioblastoma about 3 weeks ago. We were informed the tumour is huge and has spread throughout her brain and they will not operate on it. They also said it would not be worth doing any chemotherapy or radiotherapy and that was it. They told my Mum she had months to live and told my Dad she only has weeks. I am really struggling to come to terms with the fact they will not treat it and can't stop going through it all in my head. I just wish so much that they would try at least SOMETHING to help slow it down. I feel like they've just given up on her immediately without even giving her a chance to fight it. I am very suspicious that their decision not to treat is due to the coronavirus.
I'm trying really hard to hold it all together for my Mum but things are very strained between me and my father and it's making everything so much worse. He just can't accept what's happening at all and I feel like he's just thinking about himself. Today he told me to f*** off back to the city I usually live in (200 miles away). My Mum is very emotionally detached from everything (this is due to the tumour which has changed her personality) which is good because she's not distressed but makes it very hard to connect with her about it.
Just looking for some advice, really. I just can't believe this is happening. I feel like I'm trapped in a nightmare and I'm just waiting to wake up.
