Hi Emi-Ann,

Foremost, congratulations on your baby, I'm sure she'll be joining a wonderful family. Wishing a girl for you ;)

Sorry to hear about your mum, sounds like it's terminal. (:

The best you can do is what you're doing now and giving up your job qualifies you for a damehood!

My mum was also diagnosed with breast cancer and has had 2x mastectomies, radiotherapies and survived a stroke. She's still having ongoing chemotherapy.

The best approach is to take it one day at a time because no two scenarios are similar and you also have your own family and personal life challenges to face up to, not to talk of the pregnancy hormones poking their heads up too :)

As long as you're doing your best, you're OK.

Thankyou so much for your reply. 
yes unfortunately it is terminal, it had already spread at the time of diagnosis and mum very bravely chose to have no treatment as she just wanted to enjoy what time she had left. 
I suppose I just feel like I'm almost abandoning her when she needs me the most, even though she's asleep most of the time now anyway.

I'm just hoping that she's dreaming of a lovely pain free life with my dad, her beloved Husband, who passed unexpectedly a few years ago. 
 

again Thankyou for taking the time to reply
