Hi,

I’m here to seek support and advice, mum had breast cancer August 24, had left breast removed and loads of lymph nodes from arm pit. She opted out of radiotherapy but in fairness doctors never said if it was important or not. Forward to December 24 she started getting severe pain in her right shoulder and back and got told to go to A&E where she sat 7 hours waiting to be seen. X-ray showed nothing so after about 6 weeks of asking doctor for a scan it came back back she had a tumour on her spine cancer spread into bones. She had one shot of radiotherapy which helped with pain. She has no Feeling in her right arm and now left arm is going the same way . We seen oncologist for first time 3 weeks ago and they said she has months not weeks left to live. She was very poorly vomiting and nauseous a few weeks ago she wasn’t eating but they have given her anti sickness pills which have helped dramatically. She’s eating plenty and sleeping well but no energy. She’s 72 and still smoking but that’s her choice nothing will change giving up now. 

Just wondered if anyone else is going through the same?
