Wow, what an amazing response, thank you all so much. I don’t get as much time as I would like to sit at my computer but I am thinking of each and everyone of you lovely people. My goodness, what did we all do before the internet?
In answer to Andie and Lainy, yes MIL has had 2 opinions, my husband and I are both paramedics so we made sure we got as much information and asked as many questions as we could!
We have no reason in her case to believe that there is anything else to be done. She has seen 2 liver/biliary system specialists and also now under the Oncologist at the Royal Sussex in Brighton (we’re in the UK) They have been excellent and she is going to start chemo in the next few weeks and see how she feels and is also now under the care of St Peter and St James Hospice in Sussex.
Husband is going to start having counselling from the hospice which I think will really help. One positive thing to come from it all is that we have decided to bring forward our plans for a 2nd child. We have an 18 month old daughter and were going to wait until the end of the year but we both said the same thing: for the sake of a few months, why not try now and perhaps we might give MIL another grandchild before she dies. Part of me thinks we’re mad but I’m 37 this year so can’t put it on hold really and I guess sadly our lives have to go on.

Stay strong everyone X
