Thanks for the kind words and wishes everyone.
I sat up with her last night and after a few hours sleep, my Dad woke me. A family friend, who used to be a cancer nurse, had stayed up to sit with her. I was told by her that my mum on her way. So I went and sat with her. Today has been an incredibly stressful and upsetting day. My mum is still with us. We had to call out the nurses a few times to give her pain meds and meds to calm her agitation.
The house is full of family and friends at the moment. I have said to her what I wanted to say and have just spending time with her. We are just waiting now to be honest.
I can't articulate how proud I am of my mum. She has been through so much and I deeply admire her resilence. The love which she shows to her two children is phenomenal. She is just a selfless person, always looking out for others before herself. The sheer number of people visiting her now is testament to that.
At the moment, I am scared of how I am going to cope in the future without her. But I'm trying not to think about that too much now.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
