My 86yr mother has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. She has yet to have the MDT outcome but I think she will decline treatment, other than palliative.
She lives alone, and I wonder what the next months will look like regarding her ability to carry on going out. She thinks her decline will be sudden, but I suspect it will be a gradual decline as her body shuts down. I guess everything will spelt out for her clearly.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
