    I hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday.

    My mom was diagnosed with Hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer)  at the end of March. We don’t know what stage it’s at yet, as we are waiting to get an appointment at the Cross Cancer..

    She’s been so strong and positive the last month. I am in absolute awe of her and her strength. The idea of losing her is really weighing on me lately, I’m looking to see if anyone has any positive stories or positive outcomes from this type of cancer.. I need some hope right now.

    Thanks so much everyone.

    Dear Sarah:

    “She’s been so strong and positive the last month. I am in absolute awe of her and her strength. The idea of losing her is really weighing on me lately“- may her strength be your strength, and your strength- hers. Be strong for each other, strong, positive, and realistic.

    The Serenity Prayer: “god, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

    Hi Sarah

    I’m sorry to hear that your mother has been diagnosed with liver cancer. What an amazing lady to be so positive through this.

    The idea of potentially losing her is weighing on you and you are looking for hope. She sounds like a wonderful mother and it sounds like you have taken after her looking for hope in these challenging times.

    I don’t know if you would find statistics helpful or scary? So I’m just going to ask if you would like to know survival rates for the early and medium stages? There is also a statistic for how many people are diagnosed at an early stage.

    Please feel free to talk about anything.

    Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏

    Dear Sarah

    I am sorry that your mother is ill.

    What ever the prognosis is, what is important is to let your mum know that she is loved and that you appreciate all that she has done for you. If you do not have any easy relationship with your mother, now is the time to work on forgiveness/ acceptance look for & hold onto any good memories or qualities.  My mother was a strong personality and we had interesting encounters but in the last year of her life I had to see & remind myself that my mother had become frail, fearful & some times in pain,  then an up welling of love & compassion would arise within me & I could temporary put aside the baggage of our past.

    kind regards

    Roberta
