Dear Pauldetroit,
Welcome to the forum although I am sorry that you have been diagnosed and had to come here.
There is so much support and knowledge here and I know that others will be along very soon to welcome and support you. Please don’t apologise for grammar and analytical skills as there is no need to. No-one will criticise you here – its just not that kind of place.
Hi Lou,
You are not being selfish – just the opposite. You are willing to take on the loss of your mum to free her of any more suffering. My sister declined very quickly and in 5 short months there was no hope. I too was willing her to go in her last 48 hours just so she could be free of any suffering.
Someone on this forum responded to me at one of my lowest points and commented that anticipatory grief is incredibly hard to deal with. I so relate to where you are right now so vent away. You are being incredibly brave supporting your mum and family through this and considering the decision that treatment might no longer the best thing.
Use all of us here to support you. X
Dear Milena,
I am so sorry that your mum has passed. You are an incredibly brave young woman and did your very best for your mum.
Hi willow,
I’m sorry to read this and am keeping everything crossed that your sisters doctor has a plan of attack for her.

Dear Toongirl,
Welcome to the site, you will get so much support here as you want or need it.
I hope you have been able to spend today with those that mean the most to you.

Hi Michelle,
This must be incredibly hard for you without having to do some kind of Christmas normal for the kids. I was with my sister during her rapid decline and there is no script on how to do this. You clearly love your husband and kids which means whatever you are doing it is the right thing. You won’t screw your kids up I promise you. Let hospice help you as you feel you need and want them. There is so much they will be able to do to make your husband comfortable. X
Welcome Sally
I can’t answer your question but I just wanted wish you well and say your post made me smile. I don’t mean to be insensitive as I hate that anyone has this disease but to read that you have had surgery is such a positive first post to read.
Hi Margaret,
Welcome to the forum although I am so very sorry to read what you have gone through. I’m not surprised you have so many questions after such a short space of time. Can I suggest if you are going through medical records that you have someone that can take the time to explain what is in therefore and translate it all into terminology that you will understand. I don’t mean to patronise you by saying that but medical jargon is a whole other language and when giving information it has to be given in a way that you will understand, not the medical professional giving it.
