but that does not make things any easier to take. CT showed that the mets are growing everywhere, all lymph nodes that are involved around the stomach, lymph node by the liver and to top it off there are new mets in her liver. All treatment options have been exhausted and she has been fighting for nearly 10 years, she is uncomfortable and tired. I don't know what to say or do, I want to scream and cry but I stick by the promises I made in an earlier blog post I will be there and I will make sure to the best of ability that she is not in pain when she doesn't need to be.
Mum has never wanted and has never asked for a prognosis we just do not know how much time we have left! I am devestated but everybody tells me i have to carry, do my best finish my course, apply for jobs and attend interviews. I have one on Saturday but want to put all my energies into making Sunday special for all of us, mum, my sisters and the grandchildren. My dad is such a proud man just don't dare think how he is going to cope. Ok can barely see the screen so I am going to go and do something positive.
