Hi everyone - 85 year old mum has just been diagnosed with leptomeningeal disease and although asymptomatic at the moment has been given weeks to live.
Hi hope you’re getting really good support for Mum from the oncology/ palliative care team. There will be different medications they can give if Mum begins to get any symptoms. They will give you as much help & guidance during this tough time. I hope also you’re getting support for you as well. One thing which you may find hard is to be kind to yourself & give time away without feeling guilty, please don’t you need time to help you get through all what you’ve learned & are going to have to go through next. Will be thinking of you & hope you & Mum get chance to go through all the wonderful times you have spent together.
Thanks Sigrid for your kind message. Luckily I have 3 siblings who are also local so we’re sharing the load! She’s had lots of visits and meals out - soaking most of her time x
