hi, just been told my mum has cancer. problem is she doesn't know how advanced she is and i'm waiting for the oncologist to give her the proper info. it hurts i'm not telling her but we don't have enuf information to give her proper info anyway. we've been spoken to by someone who isn't a specialist in cancer so feel it'd be unfair to give info that may be inaccurate. i don't know where to get support. we've been waiting for oncologist to contact for two weeks now.. who can i speak to? thanx for reading..
When I found out I might have ovarian cancer my OB-GYN referred me to my oncologist. So maybe call whoever told you that your mom has cancer and they should refer you to someone. Good luck!
I don't want to scare you, but 2.5 weeks is too long to wait. You better become a squeeky wheel that requires some attention- so to speak! Camp out in the doctor's office if you have to and at minimum put his number on speed dial until you get the help you need. If she has ovarian cancer the early you start treating it the better.
