    Hi there ...

    So so sorry your all going through this heartbraking time ...

    I think even qualified people are a tad reluctant to put time left ... so many go on longer ... some go quicker ... and wer not qualified ... but if you call Marie Currie,  they have lots more help and info on terminal patients and their families. . Just put the name into Google and there will be a phone number on their home page ...

    Sending you a vertual hug. . Chrissie xx
