My Mum was diagnosed yesterday with inoperable brain cancer 3 months left to live

My Mum who up until 10 days ago was fit and healthy, walked 5 miles no issues loved getting out and about was diagnosed yesterday with inoperable brain cancer and given 3 months to live.

obviously she is going to decline during that period, i want her last three months to be amazing, and while she can experience life to the full. 

I am after ideas, anything, bucket list of what anyone can think of, that is realistically achievable, which probably rules out flights abroad,. i live in the middle of the country if that helps.

yes she has a loving family and yes we are there for her and yes we will hold her hand and tell we wouldn't be who we are without her and we lover her dearly, but we would also like to make some last few amazing memories, not because it's what we want but because it's what she deserves.

so any ideas, lay them out here

Thanks in advance.

  • My mum was diagnosed with Glioblastoma grade 4 2 months ago. Before this time she was ok and managed to lead her daily life, albeit with some confusion. Only when she started hallucinating did we take her to the doctors and she was diagnosed by being sent to a&e followed up by tests scans etc

    The mass was and is so big a biopsy was even out of the question. Fast forward 2 months my mum is completely bed bound having to be spoon fed pureed food. She is silent most of the time and asleep. I could never in my wildest dreams imagined what 2024 would bring us and we have now been told she does not have long left. Her hands are constantly shaking and she feels hot and cold.

    with 2 very young children and the worries of my mum I feel on the verge of a breakdown. My mum was the fittest 67 year old you would know completely selfless and very healthy.

  • Hi, I'm so sad for you. It's as bad a situation for the carer as it is for the patient. I too feel on the edge of a breakdown but I have nobody to share the worries with. I'm so sad as we have been very happy for 50 years. I can't imagine a life without him. I'm sure your mum knows you are there gir her.x x
