Hi everyone, my mother inlaw had breast cancer 14 years ago. She fight against it and was given the all clear. 5 years ago me and my husband move from abroad that we can spend time with her. Since i got here she wasn't eating well. She went of certain foods and lost in total about 5 stone. I kept on taking her back to the doctors but didn't get any explenation for the drastic weight loss. In 2006 she end up in hospital and was diagnosed with bone cancer. I couldn't believe it, i went for the last 4 years with her to all her treatment and appointments.

The last 3 weeks I picked up that she is with times a bit confused and that she see things that is not there (hallusinates). I mentioned it to her specialist and they booked her mri scans for her brain and liver. Before she could go for the scans she had a seizure at the house and was admitted to hospital. They told us that the cancer spread to her brain and are now waiting for the results on her liver. I know that the path ahead is going to be difficult, she need care at her house now and somebody to control her medication. I am with her everyday, but I feel I neglecting my children that is in primary school. But when I am at the house i wonder if she allright and if anybody went and visit her at hospital. I am lost and don't know what to do... I need to help her but my kids need me to!

Please let me know if you were in a similiar situation and what did work for you. Thanks x
