Hi Jules,
I’ve got everything crossed that surgery will be a goer for your Mum. To have trust and faith in her doctor is a big part of the battle.

Dear Suzanne,
I am sorry to read that your Dad has died. Although he is not suffering, the loss to you and your family is evident in your post.

Hi Kvolland,
You have so much to contend with – no wonder you feel like you are having a breakdown. I know it is hard but making time for you to see your doctor is a good idea. It’s to easy to neglect yourself at the moment. When my sister was first diagnosed, my GP gave me something to take away the horrible anxiety and sick feeling in my stomach. It was a low dose blood pressure tablet that I took when that horrible stomach feeling was there. There may well be something you can get that will help you.
Hi Krishna,
A coma will happen with or without morphine. What morphine will do is make him comfortable and pain free although yes it may make him more sleepy as it can be a side effect of morphine. If his pain is increasing though then he needs his pain medication increasing. It can be given in different ways such as tablet, injection, patch or through a pump. Have you been able to find any hospice help?
You are being very brave.
Welcome Kimalf,
I love your positivity. It’s no mean feat coming through what you have with your mum and still have the energy to be so upbeat. I wish your mum all the best on Monday.
Hi Jules,
Great news I can say that on getting to see Professor Lodge. Was there anything on the AMMF site about him?
Dear Bob and Nancy,
The 3 of you are incredible. I am willing the news to be better for Jeff and will keep you all in my thoughts.

Hi Secretagent,
I’m sorry that you’ve had reason to come here but if venting and ranting helps then rant away. I like that you all go en masse with your mum. We did the same with my sister when she was hospitalised. It was standing room only in the relatives room.
Try to take care of you too. It’s to easy to neglect yourself.

Dear Cali,
Welcome to the forum and for taking the brave step and posting. I can’t answer your questions personally but I am in no doubt that someone here can. There are certainly several who can talk you through the resection and recovery.
Thank you Lainy, Gavin and Marion. Yesterday was incredibly hard – the hardest day I’ve had since her funeral. It was especially difficult for mum and dad. I hate that they had to bury their daughter and have to go through this. I was due to come home yesterday after 2 weeks with my family but I delayed it until today so I didn’t have to leave everyone yesterday.
The kids sent up her balloons and we sprinkled her grave with stars and happy birthday confetti. The balloons went soaring up – every single one and I told the kids that I think Aunty Nikki takes all the balloons we send to her and gives them out to the little boys and girls that are in the stars with her. Although you could feel the sadness, my nephew made me smile as he was running around dressed as Indiana Jones, cracking a whip, completely in character which Nikki would have just loved. I had saved my birthday cake and we cut it last night with all the kids singing happy birthday to her.
