    How much more bad news can they give me ?

    We were given the results of the last 2 scans its in her Kidneys and in the bone as well as the brain .

    Dr Jane told mum that there is no need to see the nerologist ,-i think up till now she thought he was going to give her a cure.

    The news had finally sunk in to her so very hard when your mum says Jayne i'm coming home to die !

    We cried together , i cried all the way…

    3 days ago i was told that my mum only had weeks to live .

    It started with a fall in her bathroom gashing her arm on the 7th of November , she could not get down stairs to phone me for 7 hours , we got there broke in and got her a ambulence .

    I had the feeling she had had a stroke but Doctor was more concerned that she had broke her foot or Arm , x-rays done and she was sent home with us .

    Still not happy on the monday…
