Hello.  This is my 1st time posting on here.  We lost our Mum on the 20th of August.  She had been in hospital since she got her diagnosis on the 11th July 2025, to try and build her up physically for treatment (she weighed 5st due to the cancer taking 3st off her) tried everything to get the weight on but the cancer was taking it off :( on the 19th she went to sleep, slept normally through the night (she had been told there was nothing they could do so was end of life) I stayed with her.  On the morning of the 20th a nurse did her bp and told me get the family here now she didn't have long.  She went peacefully surrounded by her children, husband (our Dad) and her sister.  We miss her terribly but we know she's in a better place now.  Macmillan Nurses were fantastic with her and the family and so were the nurse's and hca's in the hospital and rehabilitation unit before she got readmitted.  

I HATE cancer.  I hate how it makes the patient feel and how it makes the family/friends of the patient feel watching them in pain.  

  • We are all in shock still with how quickly she deteriorated.  Got to Register her death tomorrow and I'm dreading it.  I know she's not suffering anymore but we still miss her like crazy
