This is my first experience of cancer in the family and boy I wished it had not of arrived, start to finish 6 months and no one told us this would be the lightly outcome and now Mum has 3-6 weeks to live and the cancer has spread to her lungs. We are in the process of trying to get her home to die in peace in her own bed, and I am trying to be strong for her and my Dad.
I still dont really believe this is going to happen, is it really, Mum is a trooper and does not complain and says when its your time its your time, Dad is falling apart by the day after 53 years of marriage and me who has always been the weakest in the family is steping up and doing quite well I even have surprised myself.
Mum should be home in the next day or so and have a macmillan nurse caring for her can any of you please tell me if they stay 24 7 do they need meals what happens how does this work.
My thoughts are with everyone who is going through treatment and their families who have to be strong to support them. Anybody with any information please contact me so I know what to expect next.
