My mom has an appointment on Wednesday pm with the Consultant who is talking to her after an MDT discussion. I know it’s not going to be good news. She’s so unwell & she doesn’t want treatment so the news I think we’re going to get is whether we have weeks or months. Whatever the news, I have no idea how my mom will process/respond to this & how I will too. I’m scared of what’s to come & what it’s going to be like.
Mom’s already started saying things like ‘are you going to have my garden pot plants’ etc. I hate those discussions & this can only get worse I’m sure.
Dreading Wednesday & onwards…
Hi Laura
Waiting for these appointments is so hard and worrying about what they say is quite normal but scary.
Your mum is possibly already processing possible news, she perhaps is already thinking that she hasnt got long and just wants things in order. My dad is forever telling me where all his paperwork is for when in his words he is 'out of the way'
I wish you strength for Wednesday. X
