Mom's cancer is back

About 5 years ago my mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. It came back a year and a half ago. She has been in remission for 10 months and now it may come back a 3rd time. She is waiting for some blood results and then a PetScan. I am getting married in the end of the August and all that is crossing through my mind is my mom going to be there for it. I'm scared to death of losing her, because 3 times back, can't be good. The last bout with chemo and  radiation was so difficult for her, and I don't think she has it in her to go through it again. She is afraid of dying.

 The last time the cancer returned it was in her pelvic & colon... I imagine it can only get worse at this point.

Hi Tag117, I am so sorry you and your mom and family are going through this.  I would like to say, however, nobody knows for sure how much time anyone has......not even the doctors.  That being said, all you can do is be there for your mom.  You can be there to listen when she wants to talk....talk to your mom.....ask her frequently what she would like for you to do.   Just be there for her.  Love her as much as you can. Make her come FIRST in your life for now.
Hugs and Prayers, Terry
