Is it really 1 Month ago since I posted on here ? Just an update to all who have replied and read my posts about my mum. She is gradually turning a corner . She is now 8 weeks post radiotherapy and saw the oncologist yesterday She now only has a 2cm ulceration on her bum, which in the grand scheme of things is positive as it was horrendous before. She still has a 1cm residual ulcer which may still be involved with cancer but tumour has shrunk from original diagnosis .So we are all taking this as a positive . Still uncomfortably walking and has only this week progressed to sitting on her bum.I would say my friend is an upholsterer and came up with an idea of making her a cushion with a washable cover , which is one of the best things she has it with her at all times and loves it. Wonderful idea and so simple . Slightly off track 2026 is the year that keeps on giving . Mum has just returned home from mine and my husband had a fall from height at work , broken lag & arm requiring surgery so no time to hang up my nurses uniform !!!
Really I would just like to say Thank You for your advice, replies and support , it has been invaluable to me and much appreciated.
