Well mum's cancer has hit a mile stone
Today we spent 7.5 hrs in hotline ward.
Her secondary cancer is coming well to the forefront
She can hardly breath .they are doing loads of tests to see why.
Finally asked the question no one wants to know How long
To be told she has 3 months .
How do I try and tell her what she doesn't want to know
That she will not feel another easy breath .
That she is on a down ward toboggan ride she never wanted.
She can't see she will never do the simple daily tasks she wants to again.
Dr's suggest she has a bed she doesn't want a cushion for her painful butt .oxygen to keep her going .morphine to help .
Rambling I know but trying to process the upcoming trial to come
