My poor mum..colon cancer metastasis liver and lung

Hi there..New to the forum so bear with me.My mum was diagnosed with colon cancer spread to the liver and small lesions to the lungs.We have been told it is terminal and we are devastated. Mum has started chemo tablets yesterday. She is 65 with a long medical history as she was born with spina bifda. The consultants say she is a very sick lady.I want some hope not pessimistic outcomes otherwise why would they give her chemo? Pls help.xx

  • Hi Shellebelle,
    Welcome to the forum, sorry to see why you have joined.  Great news that mum has been offered some treatment.  
    What does mums medical team say?  What have they told you/mum?  You must be so distraught at the news she is sick and I feel for you.  You must look after yourself too, that is very important too.
    Thinking of you, mum and family,
