Hi there  My mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2017. Last year in September, she was diagnosed with diffuse large B cell non Hodgkin's lymphoma. They gave her 4-6 weeks to live.  She went downhill and into palliative care. She then has improved so much that she is out and about shopping, playing cards and she even went on a mini break. She seems so well and I am so confused, particularly after the prognosis.   The palliative doctors are so vague, so I am not really getting much greater understanding from them. Has anyone else had this experience?  Do things then change suddenly?   I just do not know what to make of it all!   I moved in with her when she became unwell and its hard to know whether to return home or what is going to happen. any thoughts would be appreciate!   thank you! ...

Hi there My mum has had ovarian cancer for 5 years - this spread to her spleen, bowel and lungs. Despite this, it has been very stable. But we have been thrown a curve ball and told she now also has Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.  She has to have a lymph node biopsy next week to find out more but it seems like diffuse large B cell lymphoma.  She has gone downhill so quickly and I am really unsure what this means and it is hard waiting another week.   I don't know if her death is going to be imminent or whether I should be with her every day.   I am moving down there next week to be closer, but do not want to leave it too late. Does anyone have any experience of the multiple cancers and these two cancers?  Does anyone know the likely outcome?   I have been trying to do some online research, but cannot find much about primary ovarian cancer and primary lymphoma - if you have any good articles or something, I would also love to read them! Thank you so much in advance!  ... View more
