Hi Pumpkin,

I am so sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis. How did your appointment go last Thursday? I lost my Mum to terminal cancer 20 years ago, but I will never forget how difficult her final year was. She survived for 12 years post-diagnosis and was only told about the matastases in her liver, lungs, brain and bones in her final year. She couldn't have any further treatment at that stage ad it was heartbreaking watching her deteriorate so quickly at the end.

Make the most of every precious moment you have with her.

I am thinking of and praying for you both.

Please keep us in the loop.

Kind regards,

Hello Bella,

I see that you have not been on this forum for long, so welcome to Cancer Chat.

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's diagnosis and his prognosis.

It sounds as if you have had a really terrible year. I am also so very sorry to hear about your miscarriage. How sad that this should come about as the result of the stress surrunding your Dad. I'm sure that he would have loved to see a new baby in the family. Was this your first pregnancy?  I know how heartbreaking this can be. My Daughter-in-law lost 3 babies before she had our precious granddaughters. My Sister-in-law also lost her first baby. He was just 1lb at birth and lived for only a short time, but both of these instances were just devastating.

Cancer affects the whole family, so it is no wonder that you are feeling such pain. It also plays with the mind and we experience a whole raft of emotions, particularly when waiting for tests and results. There is also the fear of the unknown. Try not to dwell on the inevitable (not easy to do), Instead, try to make the most of each and every day.

IPlease keep in touch. We are always here for you, whenever you feel like talking.

Kind regards,

Hi Lynda,

I am glad to hear that hubby is coping with his chemo relatively well.

Have you told is nurses that he is still nauseous? There are many other medicines which might work better for him, so it might be worth changing. Unfortunately, I don't know of anything to stop the tiredness. Just let him sleep whenever he wants to. If he's anything like I was, I couldn't have fought it if I tried.

I hope that all continues to go well for you both.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

It's the only way to take it.
