Hi rin17732. I'm letting you know you are not alone. My mum has stage 4 Breast cancer with brain, bone and lung mets.
My dad,sister and brother are taking each day one at a time as that's all we can do.
Mum seems to be admitted to hospital every 3rd week due to very low platelet levels(collapsing) The hospital has decided its better for her to come in twice a week at the day center instead.
If my mum has been given a 'timescale' she or dad aren't telling us as the can both be very stubborn and not like to 'worry' their children.
One thing I find very stressful is the not knowing and the roller coaster up and down feeling I get. Also, I dread the phone ringing now-as I'm always expecting bad news.
