  • Thank you for this nedslifee. I'm writing while waiting for a marie curie doctor to visit. My mum was diagnosed May 2017 and has fought a battle every day to keep going. Looking after her with my elderly step father has taken a toll on us both. The last 4 months has seen her decline to the point where caring for her at home may no longer be best which is incredibly hard to deal with. The difference in her between now and just a few months ago, seeing her struggle physically and mentally and knowing there's only more of that to come. 

    Today I'm struggling. I have no advice, no wise words that can help you through, I just wish you well.
