My dear dear Mummy

On 16th July we were dealt the massive blow the one person I love most in the world has stage 4 lung cancer. It has spread from her lung to her lymph nodes and her liver and her adrenal gland today we found out it is in her spine too. I get married in 3 weeks and I don't even know if she will make it as she hasn't found out how long she has left. Can anyone give me an estimation with the fact it has collapsed her lung and her spine too thanks I am devastated and that is not a strong enough word to describe how I feel. I just feel so so alone even though I have people around me.

  • Helo masoka and so soryy about your mum.  I have been involved with caring for patients with terminal lung cancer and it can vary a lot from person to person.  I don't think you can be certain of when your beloved mum may pass away - is it possible for you to have a small bedside ceremony just for family before the big day?  I know it is easy for me to say this and only you can make a decision about it.  Whatever you decide, be assured that your mum would want - above all - you to enjoy your big day.  I think we all feel very alone when losing a beloved parent.  It is a very individual experience for everyone and sadly a very painful one.  Best wishes to you.  Annie
