Firstly, Sorry that im not good at spelling or Grammer!

I havent wrote anything for a while, but today I have thought about it all day?

I am a carer for my Mum (Jenny) who has Stage 4 NSC Lung Cancer and secondry brain, liver and spinal cancer. She was diagnosed in August 2009 and they gave her 3 months... Wow how wrong were they because 19 months on we are still fighting the bloody thing!!

Mum has been on high dose steroids for the last 19 months which have really taken there toll on her legs, they are so weak!! She also re started Chemo 2 weeks ago and was due to go for what we call the top up last Friday but her platelets in her blood were to low that she didnt have it. This morning mum's legs gave way and she just couldnt walk so we called Weston Park Cancer hospital who sent the ambulance to get us. Mum has been admitted now but im soooooo worried that she will not come home. They have said that tomorrow they will consider a blood transfusion but i think why wait and not do it now?

Im scared that she is being taken away from me and I have no control.

Hi Robsean,

Sorry to hear your Mum isnt feeling so good. My thoughts are with you and your Mum.With this disease nobody has any control. But your Mum sounds a very strong person. Give her all the support and caring she needs. Good luck.

Take care and be safe Sarsfield.

Hi So sorry for what you are going through. Your mum is obviously a fighter. I think that is one of the worst things with cancer is feeling out of control because you can`t make it better and just wanting to help the person you love. If your mum can`t come home could she perhaps get a place in a hospice my mum went into a hospice and the care she recieved there was amazing. My mum died from cancer on the 31st January so I know what you`re going through just try and stay strong take care x

Your mum is obviously a fighter and you have to also be strong for her. The worst thing about cancer is the feeling of having all your control taken from you. The best thing is the incredible amount of support that can be there, including on this site. The knowledge that you are not alone cannot be bettered. Good luck and hope yur mum comes through this latest challenge.
