My mum has been through a hell of a rollercoaster the last few weeks. Perfectly healthy woman,2yrs ago she was diagnosed with lung cancer, which then they found it also in the breast and on her brain. She had chemo to begin with but sadly ended up with neutropenic sepsis. Luckily she recovered and the chemo worked! She then had brain surgery, mastectomy, and then before Xmas a tumour removed from her groin, which the last surgery has turned her world upside down. Few weeks after She had severe pain after the surgery, so was admitted to hospital in jan, which they then gave her reduced chemo because of effects from last time, but then, again, turned to neutropenic sepsis and told us to expect the worse as she wouldn't make it the next morning. Luckily she pulled through. But the pain was still there. Nurses noticed an infection in her wound so admitted her to hospital for intravenous antibiotics, which is now under control, but her calcium levels are high and they discovered a blood clot yesterday. We are waiting for the oncologist to come back to her today to discuss results of ct scan. I'm dreading the phone call as I am expecting the worst. I'm not sure what I am looking for writing this post, but I have seen how helpful other members have been. Why does life have to be so cruel? She doesn't deserve this. She is an amazing woman and is my best friend. I don't know what to expect or how to cope with her loss.
