i was told 2 days ago that mom has maybe 1 - 4 months left, she has advanced stomach cancer, she has never been seen about this before, she was in hospital 5 months last year due to a emergency op on a strangulated hernia, she had a 3rd of her small bowel removed, from that she went septic, had pnuemonia, caught mrsa in the wound. she came home christmas but was never right, couldnt eat, was losing weight, the doc put it down to been very ill previous, in 10 months she lost 6 stone. i phoned a ambulance 2 weeks ago cus she was short of breath and very weak, and now this is where we are, 2 weeks down the line they discover the cancer, it has spread and she is bed bound now and taking very little orally. i am having her home, everything is been set up as i type, i dont know how im gonna cope, im still in shock at the moment, i still really dont believe they have got it right.
