My mum is 65 and has been ill since January. We ahve been back and forth to the GP and hospital as well as opticians. Mid September she was so bad I called 111 and she was rushed into hopsital. They said she had gall stones and sent her home with a follow up for 2 weeks time. A week later she was getting worse so we took her back to A&E. 5 days later and were told she has cancer. It is breast cancer which has spread to liver and bones including a tumour behind her eye which is pushing forward and causing pain and sight problems. 

We are all in shock. Apart from being breathless and tired she has been on the go, running around with my daughter whos 4 and only 6 weeks ago climbed the giants causeway! Were angry at it taking so long for something to be found and feel as is she was fobbed off but tryoing to stay positive too. Mum is my best friend and rock. 

She has been started on Letrozole and starting Ibrance next week as well as an injection every 4 weeks. I want to support her, make memories and enjoy the time we have but Im not sure how. She is becoming confused in the morning and upset easily. I want to take her away but dont know if we can. I dont want to stress her out. I dont even know if she is allowed to be home on her own so currently have a rota of whos with her at different times but this is proving difficult with us all working full time. 

Please if anyone can offer advice or understands what were going through I would love to hear from you.
