Hi
I’ve just joined today.
my mum was diagnosed with liver tumour e of of October but was told that was the secondary cancer and they needed to find the primary,
at beginning of December I had a phone call to there was a surgeon in London who could operate on that.
still doing lots of scans and bloods.
we then received a letter for an appointment on 23rd jan 2023
i took her to her appointment and he asked lots of questions and made her walk about
mentioned her weight as she was only 6stone, probably about 7.5 stone before she was ill
then went on to tell us her cancer was untreatable and only had months to live.
she died 3 wks later
im still in shock and disbelief, she was 81 but pretty fit for her age and had more energy than most of the time
ive lost my best friend as well as my mum,we done everything together
my dad died 10 yrs ago and we got through it together
I now feel like I have no one.
the last week of mums life was awful and I’m glad she’s at peace and not suffering now.
reading how some people seeked for second opinions I wish we had :(
