So my mum was diagnosed with kidney cancer in may & sadly passed away nearly 2 weeks ago on the 31st july, just 10 weeks of being diagnosed, & finding it hard to process, but on the plus side she no longer in pain ( as her pain was becoming unbearable, she was only 74.
I’m so sorry for your loss and completely understand how hard it must be to comprehend the speed at which this cruel disease can take someone we love. My lovely hubby was just diagnosed with kidney cancer in April and we have been told as it is a particularly aggressive cancer there is only palliative treatment available I have watched him fade away in front of me and it is heartbreaking I am struggling with anxiety and fear of having to contemplate my life without him. Sending hugs to you x
