My mam got diagnosed with ovarian cancer last week, with 

extensive peritoneal and omental infiltration by multiple large masses. But also something on the bottom of her liver. We have had to phone an ambulance for her twice due to the swelling in her tummy becoming too much along with the pain. MDT was Wednesday with a plan to operate asap. First meeting with the surgeon is Monday. She’s back in hospital now and is in so much pain - im struggling so much seeing her in this much pain. They tried to drain her tummy last week but there wasn’t enough fluid they will try again tomorrow. I’m worried that If it isn’t fluid that the masses are so huge and getting bigger. Has anyone experienced this before? I need some help coping so I can support her better. Two weeks ago everything was fine - this has happened all so sudden. She is 65 and although she has ataxia is otherwise healthy and I mean super healthy. How can this happen so fast and why can’t the hospital fix her sooner? My heart is broken. Her biopsy isn’t back yet
