I haven’t made many posts here but I have gained so much info from reading everyone else’s posts. My mum peacefully passed away on December 7 at 3:38am. I sat holding her hand while she passed. I had been sleeping over at the hospital for the 5 days before as we had noticed her steady decline. I am ...

These results seem to be neither positive or negative. I can offer you my experience as it sounds similar. My mum had an emergency colostomy due to blockage as well. She had 6 negative tests until they found the mass on an MRI about a year after her colostomy. They then did a CT guided needle biopsy...

Hello. I’m 35 & caregiver to my mom as well. I too fear the nightmare x2. I too have anxiety about it and sometimes brief panic attacks.

It has been a lot of info in a short period of time. Her condition is much worse than we had first thoug...
