Last tuesday we were told that mums tumors have not reduced in size and that they want to stop all treatment as nothing is working. We're all devastated as all they can do now is manage the symptoms as and when they appear. This is the news that we've all been dreading. Mum has always been focusing on the treatment never thinking about it not being available. She feels abandoned now as if all she can do is wait. We've said she needs to live her life as much as she can now. It's such a difficult time for everyone. Her pain relief isn't right yet, trial and error for the time being. More morphine is needed. She's taking so many pills. I wish i had some good news but there isn't. She was diagnosed with sclc in dec last year and has been on chemo for 11 months. We went to visit the hospice week which i wasn't keen on but actually it was ok. It's a nice place as you would expect and now we have seen it, it wont be so scary when we finally do need to go there. Mum kept saying she's not ready for this. So sad to hear she's only 52. It's not fair, life isn't fair.
