My mum is now into her 5th year of battling ovarian cancer. She is always open and honest with us but I feel she keeps some stuff away from us to protect us. She has been on and off chemo over the years and we were told that her cancer is terminal and that chemo is been used to manage the cancer not to cure it.
I am finding it hard not knowing what is next? She is suffering a lot of symptoms now - appetite loss, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, sleeplessness and pain under her ribs. Her breathing is also becoming sharp. Her latest test results indicated dangerously high tumour markers. What's next ?? Is this it? Are we heading down the final path? It's so hard not knowing. I wish I could just google it and I would find the answers to my questions for example the screen will blink back at me.....ok your mum is going to start feeling this, that etc - this means she has such and such time left.......I know crazy but its the unknown that is so scary.....
