Too young to die

My heart goes out to u all I lost my mum in February to secondary liver cancer that started in her bowel. Mum got diagnosed in June 2015 after months of the doctor telling her she had irritable bowel syndrome it had already spread by then she started chemo and by November a scan showed 80% of the bowel cancer had shrunk but then in December she caught an infection in liver so had to stop chemo and start taking steriods the muscles just wasted away on her then on 20th January 2016 2 days before her 55th birthday the doctors broke the news that nothing more could be done. Mum deteriated fast on the 6 th of February she was taken into St Michaels hospice where she lasted just 11 days. My heart is breaking she was my best friend and I miss her so much everyday I can't see it getting any easier 

  • Hi,

    I lost my dad on the 12th of March............He was the most healthiest man who excersised every day, ate healthy and was a very happy person. 

    In January he got a very bad cough and lost his voice. 5 weeks later he was no better so went for a blood test where his liver enzymes where very high. The hospital gave him a scan and found something on his liver and lung. After the biopsy we found out that he had a stage 4 neuroendocrine tumor which spread to his entire body (apart from the brain). The strange thing was he had no pain atall but stopped eating and got weaker and weaker. He was meant to start Chemo on the 14th of March but didn't make it and died in hospital on the 12th. I have lost my idol, my best friend, my everything and I feel lost without him. I am so greatful that I have my mum who also means everything to me but as you may understand each parent has a special place in your heart and either one can be replaced. My husband and I are expecting a baby next month and it breaks my heart that he won't be here to meet my little boy :( I miss him so much it hurts
