She doesn't want to go and I don't know what to do.

I'm so anxious and Mumsnet has always helped me in the past so I'm reaching out again. My mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour and a spinal cord tumour and put on a two week cancer wait 5 weeks ago. She now has an appointment on Thursday at a hospital 2 hours drive away. She needs specialist scans. She called me tonight as she doesn't want to go as she scared she might catch the virus. She's 73 and she's been staying inside alone for 3 weeks. She's also scared of the outcome if she doesn't go. She's on her own and looking to me for advice and answers and I just don't know what to say. My instinct is to go with my gut and tell her not to go and to wait it out. I don't want to make the wrong call. Sorry I'm so stressed.

I am very glad to hear your dm had a positive experience when she went to be scanned and sincerely hope that there will be an equally positive outcome when she receives the results.

I also hope you will update this thread from time to time as I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be thinking of you and your dm while she waits to learn what treatment she can expect to receive.

Happy Easter to you, your dm, and all of your family Flowers

Glad she went. Hopefully this experience helps her going forward.
