My Mum went into hospital last week and was given the news she has stage 4 lung cancer. I live with her and have brothers that live abroad so I will be dealing with a lot of things on my own. I am lucky though as I have a good support network around me . She has smoked heavily most of her life and in a way we all knew this could happen eventually but is still a massive shock when you find out. It has spread to other parts of her body and we are currently in the stage of figuring out where she will go to when she comes out of hospital. It’s a worry if she comes home as I can figure out how she could be without 24hour care. A care home is an option but my mum is worried she won’t like to be there. I just want what’s best for my mum obviously but close family have conflicting opinions. I just hope there isn’t any falling out between us all. My head is thinking millions of things all at once. I just hope that her last days in this world are as comfortable as possible and she doesn’t go through to much pain. Writing this now is tough but thought I had to do it.
