Metastatic breast cancer

My mum was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in February and the drs told me it had spread to her bones abs lungs with a tumour at the base of her spine that could grow and shatter her hip or cause paralysis if it presses on the nerve. They told me that she would only live for the weekend. She was in hospital for 6 weeks before we took her home due to Covid. She's still with us. Im

so grateful. She's a fighter. I'm dreading losing my mum. 2020 has been an awful year without the added stress of caring for my terminally ill mum but she's strong and I'm looking forward to Christmas with her again this year.

    Hi Abiside,

    I am so sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis, especially during the current pandemic. I am glad to hear that she has already outlived her prognosis and that you have managed to get her home. I have been through this agony with my own mum, who had metastatic breast cancer, which had spread to her bones, brain, liver and lungs.

    None of us want to lose our mums, but for the moment all you can do is to treasure every day that you have with her. I hope that she continues to fight for as long as she can and that you get a very special Christmas with her again this year.

    I am always here if you want to talk.

    Kindest regards,

    Jolamine xx
