Bladder and Secondary Brain Cancer

Less than one minute read time.

Hello.

This is pretty new for me,(Blogs)  I am writing this blog as my wife and I attended The Christie today to speak with the Consultants who treat my mum for Bladder and now Brain Cancer.

She was diagnosed 5 years ago with Bladder Cancer, she is a fighter and has had umpteen rounds of Chemo over the 5 years, with the usual side effects.

10 days ago she attended the Hospital to have a CT scan due to certain symptoms, she was then told she has two tumours in the Brain (Secondary), I wasn't sure what to do or ask (Mum and Dad don't want to know the worst)..Today the Consultants told my Wife and I that my beautiful mum has months to live, 50:50 that this will be more than 3 months, I am lost for words and cannot understand how something we have lived with for so long should now accelerate, she is not in pain, just tired, I love her as all the family does, hope she can enjoy life of what is left and we can also including her 2 doting Grandchildren aged 5 and 7.

    Dear Martyn,

    My thoughts are with you and your Family at this time. By the sound of your blog your Mum is some woman she is strong caring and Loving. It is good that at least she is not in pain. The Pain is with you and your Family. You are all going to have to be strong and positive for what lies ahead..With the Loving Family that she has around her Im sure she will enjoy her life.to the full.Keep strong.

    Take care and be safe.Regards Sarsfield.
