Hi Holly,  

I'm in a similar situation to you. My mum started having really bad pain in her ribs in October, doctors told her it was plurasy and gave her pain medication but it just didn't go away and in January this year my mum couldn't take the pain anymore and went to A&E where they told her she actually had cancer. Two days later she lost the use of her legs after scans it was revealed she had a massive tumor in her spine and smaller ones in her hip and both lungs. They gave her one very high dose of radiation on her spine to see if she would regain movement in her legs which it didn't. So after that they sent her home and basically said there is nothing they can do. They couldn't even give us a time frame of how long she would have left. My mum is my very best friend and I can't imagine my life without her and watching her in so much pain is breaking my heart. I just wish they would have done something for her.

Hi Vikki

im so sorry to hear about what your mum is going through, I’m sending you a huge tight hug 

it is such a scary and helpless feeling. have you been offered any counselling with a local hospice? I was advised to do this so I can process what mum has and what to expect later on down the line. I need to get that sorted I think as all of the unknowns cause me a lot of anxiety. 
I don’t know about you but I find some of the medical staff great and others that just don’t seem to want to help or give any advice?
