Hi, my amazing mum is almost 75 and only diagnosed around Mother’s Day - it’s all happened so fast - I have a photo of her at our eldest sons 21st in december looking helathy - then shoulder pain, suspected gastritus which GP was insistent about and just kept sending her off with Gaviscon..the CT scan (at familys request) then WALLOP - stage 4 lung cancer which has spread to the liver & bones..my world has fallen apart I can’t begin to tell you we live next door to her & we are slowly watching her deteriorate- actually it’s not slowly as every day she seems frailer and now not really eating much this week -we don’t know how long she has as she doesn’t want to be told So we taking each day. as it comes and treasure her as best as wecan. My dad died of cancer in 2017 & we are only just comimg to terms with that as that was completely out of the blue too - the worst part is my mother in law has also just died from cancer she fought fir 7 years - she was so strong & really put up s good fight but sadly C won so in her final days in the hospice last month we then had my mum just across the road in the hospital having herlungs drained - WHAT ARE THE ODDS ON BOTH OUR MUMS WITH CANCER AT THE SAME TIME - it’s like I’m in a bad nightmare day after day & our 10 year old son has now lost two grandparents in the last year & a half with a third one dangerously ill - I’m so worried fir him & tried to reassure him that me and his dad are fine & it’s just bloody *** bad luck ( I did even say that & explained that on this occasion swearing is necessary ️) it’s just horrible times & all feels quite bleak, my husband is emotionally strong & doesn’t seem to have started grieving for his dear mum yet as I think he’s being strong for me , which makes me sad as I don’t want what’s happen to my mum to over shadow his mums passing...feel so bloddy angry, sad, anxious and herat broken its almost too much to deal with..and we are managing to care for our 10 year old and help with my mums care (my sster and step dad are primary carers and doig amazing job) and keep our business going......feel exhausted...
