Mom has aggressive cancer

My 54-55 year old mom has metastatic ovarian cancer. The prognosis for these types of cancer is so poor. She is getting chemo but even then, most of these cancer recur within the first 2 years and then eventually is terminal pretty past. Cancer is the worst. It upends the world upside down and keeps everything in limbo. Not just for the person with cancer but also the family and caregivers. I am a 31 year old male and I work as a doctor. My mom’s diagnosis is affecting the energy I can bring to my patients and my profession. I feel like other people can probably sense that I am depressed even when I try to put up a smiley, social front. The thought of losing my mom, I can’t simply overcome that…

🥺

My heart goes out to you.

I'm so sorry to hear your mum is going through this.

It's so heartbreaking to watch.

When all you want to do is take the pain away.

I know the loneliness of worry, fear, the isolation of being a carer.

I'm here to say, I hear you, I genuinely sending you my best, your mother's so lucky to have your support.

Losing her is never something one should have to contemplate 💖💜

This is a lot to deal with. I have had a few cancer cases in my relatives and yes the suffering they went through as a family was truly heartbreaking to witness. I feel you.
