Hi my 83 year old mum was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago (she also had it in her 50s) last year it spread to her lungs and yesterday we discovered it has also spread to her brain. She is i hospital because she was having severe headaches and being sick constantly. She was having chemo tablets so at the weekend we thought it was related to that and started her on anti sickness medicati but it just got worse so we took her to hospital where they did the scan and made the discovery. She is comfortable now and the symptoms are under control and she’s talking and has eaten something day which is great. We are waiting for the different teams to meet and discuss plans etc. my mum was already considering not continuing with Chemo because it was making her ill so if she decides now ot to have any treatment if offered on the brain cancer as a family we just need to know approximately how long she might have left so we can make it as special as possible for her. Will she be here or Xmas? Will she be able to see family that are coming from the other side of the world in January or does that need to be brought forward? I know no one can give a definite answer but just an idea ould be really helpful to our family. Thank you
