Hello everyone
I wanted to come on here to tell people about my story and experience with loosing my mum who was my world. Not only was she the most wonderful mum, she was my best friend who I told everything too, even things that you probably shouldn't tell your mum but that is how close we were. Not a day would go by where we wouldn't tell each other how much we loved each other and that we were so lucky to have the bond that we did.
My mum was admitted to hospital roughly around 4 weeks ago due to severe stomach pains, she was palmed off with a diagnosis of diverticulitis and constipation. she was then re-admitted and a CT scan showed that she had a tumour on her kidney, tumour's on her liver and nodules on her lungs. She was told that she would be treated with chemo and that it was not terminal. Her chemo was postponed because she developed a bleed and infection post liver biopsy and then gastric necrosis of the stomach (due to incompatible medication prescribed) and pneumonia. The cancer had now spread to the bones and she could not be saved. The pneumonia had got so bad that she could not be off of oxygen for more than 30 seconds before she started to go blue and her sats plummeted. I spent all night with her battling for her life in the most pain and agony I have ever seen anyone in. She passed away on the 28th of July when I left the hospital to go home for some rest.
I am only 24 years old and my brother 22. I feel so much pain in my heart and soul at he minute and feel as if I do not want to carry on. I am mentally scared from what I saw on that night at the hospital with her and its all I see every time I close my eyes. I just wanted to see if there were any younger people out there who are going through or have gone through a similar experience and have any ways of coping or support for me and my brother.
Many Thanks
