About 5 years ago my mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 50, I’m not sure what stage the cancer was at, I was 14 and I think she didn’t want to scare me. She had an operation and was then given chemotherapy after. However, this unfortunetly didn’t keep the cancer away, common after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The cancer has come and gone another 3 times since. Around 3 months ago she was diagnosed again, this being the fourth time, I believe this time it was in her groin area. Again, although I’m 19 now going on 20, I still feel she hasn’t told me the full extent about what’s happening. Since finding out I have read hours and hours about reacurring cancer, and how it can be controlled, but still I have no closure on the situation, I’m scared that soon I’m going to find out that the treatments have stopped working. I’m not sure what to do, I don’t want her to know that I am worrying, when I ask her about it she normally says that’s everything going as well as it could be, but I don’t understand what that means. Is there anyway of the cancer ever going away, or can it just be controlled? Can it stay away for a long period of time or will it just keep coming back, till the point of eventually being uncontrollable?
