Week 1

Less than one minute read time.

this week we went to the hospital to discuss radio therapy  to the brain . It was decided that the liver cancer was more important as the tumour  in the brain has been removed . So next week off to a different hospital to discuss chemo therapy to the liver . Mum is still being very brave  mean while I am having nightmares quite literally when I do sleep. She has her beloved dog back with her keeping her company and i have stayed with her this week as much as possible. We wrote her requests for when she is unable to make descisions herself .and talked about what she wants. She keeps says well what about you ..  I tell her its all about what she wants .. whatever she wants .. found myself driving off to get a mac donalds banana milkshake 5 minutes later !! 

lets see what next week brings

    I know exactly what you mean re the nightmares and lack of sleep.....I am so sorry you are both having to take this journey....it's not a road any of us would choose to walk (sigh).  I hope things go as well as can be.  Thinking of you XXX

    Big hugs Debs.  It's a hard road you are travelling and it won't get any easier.

    And if a Banana Milkshake gives you a bit of comfort then go for it!  With me it's frosted lemon cake with a lemon mascarpone filling but I haven't the energy to make one at the moment!

    Stay strong.

    Much love,

    So s****y you find yourself on this road and unfortunately there's no getting off it. Sorry for the blunt but true reply. Much love and strength to you.

    It's weird how we find ourselves doing normal things like buying a maccie. I used to feel strange going shopping. Up and down the iasles with the trolley passing people with their busy lives. Very strange feeling indeed. My dad passed away a few minths ago and that feeling still remains.

    make sure you get rest and time out, 'cos you need strength for your mum.

    Take care ((hug))
