Hello,
My name is Yilmaz and I am a carer for my mum. She has a history of a cancer: breast, bone, liver, but bravely fought through it. This year, she started getting headaches. A scan revealed that she had several brain mets. After a course of radiotherapy, the medics decided that there was no more they could do for her.
My mum's mobility is virtually non-existent. She cannot walk or make many movements with her body. She speaks with difficulty and struggles to speak coherently.
I came on here to share my experiences with others, so that hopefully we can support each other. I have spoken to some of you in the chatroom already, but I hope to speak to more of you in time.
:)
