Consultant gave her the option to give up the treatment as there is a risk it may happen again but she refused and is carrying on. I am finding it really hard to see her unwell, she has never been poorly, i&#39;m an only child and she has two wonderful grandchildren, after seeing her today very weak and tired, losing her hair now too i really wonder how i will keep brave, i feel guilty that i am not stronger and know it is likly to get worse and i am scared of how i will cope although really how selfish i am being after all im not going through half as much as her. I guess/hope these feelings a normal but others opinions will be welcome.</p> <p>Thank you for taking the time to read this.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=445657&AppID=32164&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
