Hi all/anyone.
My mum has been told she has ovarian/peritoneum cancer following a ct scan, she has had a biopsy and we are waiting for those results, been 10 days now.
She is not eating, just sleeping all the time, I feel so powerless to help her and of course worrying about what these results will mean. My dad is taking care of her but it's been scary to see how quickly she has gone downhill in the past couple of months.
Not much point to this post but I've been reading posts for some insight. My best wishes go to all with cancer and those affected by it.
Hi LotusLozza and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your mum has recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Waiting for results is a really horrible time but hopefully you'll all feel more in control once you know what the treatment plan is.
I'm not a member of this group, as I've had different types of cancer, but I'm sure the group members will try their best to answer any questions you might have, around your mum's diagnosis and treatment, and share their experiences with you.
I'm going to recommend that you also join the family and friends group which is a safe and supportive place to share your emotions and worries with others who have a loved one living with cancer.
If you'd like to join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you feel up to it, it would be great if you could put something about your mum's diagnosis and tests so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
