My mum had a large mole removed in 2021 on her back,it was 11mm deep. She has been on immunotherapy since may2022.
in February, we found my mum on the floor at home, she was taken to hospital and after me pushing for a ct scan, as has previous TIA’S
something showed up, so did an mri and found two small lesions, that are bleeding on her brain. My mum has no symptoms but confusion levels were high,
but as she has dementia they think that was that more so than the lesions. We had a meeting at Christie’s where they have decided not to progress with treatment,
as already had the immunotherapy and other treatments could cause her more stress. They have said prognosis is 9-12 months!! At the minute she is okay and we
are just enjoying time, she is unaware of her prognosis as she wouldn’t understand and the doctors think that it would be better
that way. I’m just looking for advice on what to expect, I’m praying she doesn’t get pain, at the minute the cancer has only
spread to the brain,,and the doctor has said she wouldn’t have pain. I lost my dad in 2020 to oesophageal cancer that
spread and was very aggressive at the end and he was in a lot of pain, we nursed him at home as it was covid times, but
was horrible to watch. Hence my worries over my mum. Thank you in advance for any information.
