Hello all.
I've made a few posts here in the past and wanted to reach out again because you're all so nice.
Short story my mum has inoperable oesophageal cancer that has attached to her liver. She had a stent fitted a few months ago which has been working wonders, she's been enjoying food again after months on a horrible liquid diet that left her so thin and depressed.
Chemo was due to start on Thursday and we had a weekend in Brighton together so she could enjoy some time away before the chemo started. She's not had any fun times really since dad died in Feb 2020 and not left the house since November except to go to hospital. Yesterday morning I was woken up by the sounds of her vomiting in the hotel bathroom, lots of brown blood. It was the most horrifying thing I've ever seen in my life so called 999. It was awful, I watched my dad slowly suffer from cancer last year and this was even worse than that. I'm still in shock at what I saw. She passed out too when the paramedics got her in the wheelchair too I feared the worst because her eyes rolled back and head shook and everything i'm just in shock. She is in hospital now and they are going to do the camera down the throat thing to see what caused it. Maybe it was the stent or maybe it was the tumor - who knows.
Currently sat at work trying to keep my mind of it but the waiting is just awful. I feel so helpless too I want to be with her but I know she worries about me too. I hope it's the stent causing this, to me that sounds less serious than the tumor bleeding, but at the same time I don't want her to go back to not eating again with no stent.
She was due to start chemo on Thursday, now I'm worried that will get delayed or cancelled because of this issue.
Me and her have always been close but we've been so close since my dad died last year because we have been living together and sorting through the admin and estate together. I just don't know what to do.
Why do things like this always happen to good people.
