It takes time to get your head round such frightening news,but you will be strong and the strength comes from somewhere,mine did and I never thought it would,always here to answer any questions,I wish your mum and family all the best

Wow. I didn’t expect a reply and didn’t realise there was such an amazing forum! It’s easy to think the worst bit we have to keep strong. My parents moved back from Spain 8 weeks ago after living abroad for 12 years, then after they moved back my mum started getting really sick, not eating losing a lot of weight and looking very weak which was hard to deal with and it was only when she started vomiting I said enough is enough to my dad we are taking her Ito hospital. It’s very tough at the moment with covid not being able to visit bit my husband keeps saying you can’t control the uncontrollable but as you know it’s a huge shock and complete disbelief when someone is so healthy.
