My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 existing breast cancer from 23 years ago that has now spread onto the lining of her left lung, spreading into her blood stream. Shocked because it has just come on all of sudden and she has deteriorated quickly. The fluid keeps building up on her lungs and changed colour within in 2 days. She is constantly out of breath but they've not supplied oxygen tank.
Me, my Brother and Dad are beside ourselves with this devastating news as we've been lucky 23 yrs and nothing, the worry and fear as always been there but to come back in the same breast is a even bigger shock to us.
She has up and down days, has insisted on making a wish list and wants to plan on doing things before it gets bad (make memories).
I know it's going to get harder.
