Thank you @Afraser. I really appreciate your comforting words. I guess it’s hard to cope knowing that my mum is walking around with cancer inside her and nobody is doing anything about it for the foreseeable future. I’ll try to refrain from pestering the hospital every morning like I’ve been doing since the diagnosis.Afraser said:Hi @mericelle
I know the waiting is hard, possibly harder than if you are the one with cancer, but no one is going to endanger anyone by making sure that they have consulted and taken everything necessary into consideration. A wait at this stage is not unusual. Before you knew the diagnosis, you weren’t concerned even though, unknown to you, the cancer was there. So breathe deeply and be as supportive as you can. It’s reasonable to follow up and ask again for a date. There will be lots more to take in and think about as treatment is confirmed, but the problem won’t progress that fast and your medical team will be looking to ensure that their proposed treatment is effective and appropriate. Looking after yourself is important do you can best support your mother. Best wishes.
