Hello @Tizzle85 ,    I'm so sorry to hear the news of your mother's diagnosis. It must have been such a shock to receive that news, especially when her symptoms didn't seem to reflect the severity of it all. The treatment journey is so challenging and unique to each person, it sounds like your mother is having a really tough time with it which is really hard. It's wonderful that she has you as support and great to hear she seems in lively spirits at present.   Decisions about treatment options can be tough to know what to do, there is no single right answer and it's important to talk through options and how she feels about them. Do you have any support or access to counselling or similar mental health support - it can be beneficial to have a space to work through how you're feeling, perhaps reaching out to your GP would provide you with options.  If you're an Australian resident, you can reach out to the Cancer Connect team on 13 11 20 to talk about support options also. I have attached a resource that may also be of help and hope that others in the community can offer words of understanding for you too.  Living with Advanced Cancer Stay strong, Miranda CCNSW ...
