Hello Kezaroo = I felt really sad for you and Mum. This does happen and due to insidious nature of he problem which can hide and mascarade. Lets hope they can treat it and hold it back. Poor Mum, she must be devastated and thank goodness she has you. Its hard on the family, in my expereince, and I found that work were helpful and supportative going to work gave me a boost that I needed.
We will thinking of you all today

all i can say is look after your mum as you are doing a great job now but also look after yourself
Hi
Your kindly posted on my thread and I felt I would like to offer some support on yours too. It is very sad that you and the family are having to watch your poor Mum deal with this disease but she will be pleased to have you around her. I learnt the hard way that we 'carers' cannot do it all (slept less and less as our three year journey drew to a close) and we all need some support to cope with the situation. Please remember to eat and take care of yourself (your Mum will tell you the same I am sure). Hope the nurses can give you good support - our local community nurses were amazing and they can answer a lot of your fears/questions so if you need to write down how you feel and what you need to know. Caring did not come particularly easy to me but we managed 'at home' as he wanted and I shall be forever grateful for the support I received both from the NHS team involved in his palliative care and the buddies I found on this virtual site. Take care Jules
We hate going to the hospital also - its like going to the head mistresses office as a child!! Still good luck for Monday - lets hope it goes smoothly and without having to wait ages. My heart goes out to you all at this time as it is full of uncertainty and pain..you must tell them to address that pain when you go on monday. We quietly offer support to you all at this time
