Hi anyone that remembers any previous posts I sent about my mum being diagnosed with sclc.. astonishingly enough she is still here after being sent home with 4/6 weeks to live.

we are as a family..and I am so lucky to have had 16 months of her being with us and relatively doing well.

we absolutely knew her diagnosis and have prepared ourselves?.. but my mum defied everything and was determined to fight.. she's 83 old skool keeps calm and carries on!

but sadly it has spread to her brain in these last few weeks she has deteriated sooooo fast in the last week.

we all knew sadly how it would?

she now only has days/ 2 weeks and I am so sad and struggling with the thought of loosing her.

I do know how lucky we are to have had her in our lives for as long as we have.. we have been blessed.. but now I have grown to think she did defiy all the doctors and specialists and maybe they got it wrong?

I now know they didn't....I just wanted to post this message to say.. heyyyy.. you just hold on and be as positive as you can for as long as you can..we did that for my mum and by rights she should of passed away 16 months ago.. but she didn't!!

This awful disease has finally caught up with my lovely lovely strong mum and we are devastated!

my mum is the strongest woman I have ever known..always have been a force to be reckoned with!..and is a pleasure to know and I am so proud of her..and she has fought to the very end!

my point is..with any diagnosis you have been given?.. fight it with all your being.. surround yourself with people that love you..smile.. laugh.. talk.. have a gin n tonic!!!

my mum has been amazing!.. she talked.. she laughed.. she drank her gin n tonics! 
I am truly devastated that she will be leaving us very soon but I am truly blessed that we / I had the time we had!

all I can say is my world is a sadder place without her in it!!..
