Well I don't really know where to start but here goes.......in december 2013 my mum had an awful cough which she didnt seem to be able to shift...she went to the doctors a few times but she really isnt one for bothering anyone so when the doctors said it was a chest infection or what ever they would say my mum just took there diagnosis and got on with things....but in april 2014 my mum felt like she was dying so the doctor finally sent her for scans which showed she actually had terminal stage 4 lung cancer, it wasn't till June 2014 they actually diagnosed her and said she had about 2 mon the to live....my mum was so brave and said she wanted all the treatment they would give her because she wasn't going to let this beat her......she started chemotherapy straight away, because my mum has aggressive cancer they had to treat it with aggressive treatment which my mum had every 3 weeks for 8 hours a day.....she got a little poorly with the treatment but she was so brave that she just got on with things.....once she finished the chemo the specialist said she had reacted so well to it that she could have some radiotherapy too.....my mum finished all her treatment in December 2014.....my mum went to see the specialist February 2015 and they said the mass has strunk a little bit and that what ever she was doing to keep doing.....my mum is still alive to this day.....obviously she doesn't have the best quality of life but she's here and shes living it to the bestate she can.....I know that one day in the near future my mum will die because cancer is such an awful thing that it always seems to go after the best I'm just lucky that my mum is so stubborn and she won't be going anywhere without a fight.........as awful as it all is and I would give anything to change it I have sort of learnt from it....I never take anything for granted anymore and I don't judge people and I try and listen and help people.......even though some days I do have bad days I understand that so do so many other people in the world do......I spend so much time with my mum now and I try and make memory's with her everyday so that she will always live on in me and my 3 children...................SO just when I thought that I'd had my bad luck for now this December 2015 I had a call of my brother saying I needed to go to the hospital because our 58 year old dad was poorly.....I went straight to the hospital to find out that my dad was dying from liver/lung/adominal cancer and only had a few days to live.....my mum and dad separated when I was about 11 I'm now 29.......I felt like my whole life was falling apart again but this time there was nothing that could be done....my dad had known for 5 months that he was dying but he didn't tell any off us because he said he couldn't put us through it again with what was going on with our mum.....we sat by our dads bed for 9 days watching the man that
we all love dying.....it really was the most awful sadest thing we as a family had been through.....I can't even begin to imagine what my dad had been going through for them 5 months knowing and never talking to any off us about it...I thinks it's a very selfless thing to do and I respect and love him so much for it god bless him.........it's been 2 months since my dad passed and it seems to be getting harder everyday knowing that I am never going to see or speak to my dad ever again.....it just seems so unfair.....obviously I still have all my memories and they will live on in me and my family but what I would give just to have him here just for a little longer......I suppose in life it's a natural thing to take things for granted because we don't think bad things are going to happen to us or our families until they do and then it's usually to late so I suppose what I'm trying to say is don't take things for granted and don't be angry love the people you love and respect everybody and treat people how you want to be treated because u don't get another chance at this.......Im sorry if I've rambled on but I really needed to of load somewhere and this seemed the best place......and I'm really sorry to who ever reads this because I assume you or someone you know is battling cancer in some way and I'm so sorry xx
