I too missed this the first time round.

Does anyone know how her mother is? Having no news is the worst part of it - apart for missing a friend.

Have only just seen this, thank you all.

Wish I could tell you that I have good news on my dear Mum but regret to say that her breast cancer has returned and she has secondary tumours in both lungs.

As she is 94 and very frail anyway, they are unable to offer any treatment, only palliative care and so I am nursing her at home as best I can. Wish I could say that I am a good nurse but that wouldn't be truthful, however, we muddle along together same as we always have and even though her illness is terminal we don't have a definite prognosis and don't want to know what the future holds, we are taking each day as it comes and not thinking too much about what is to come.

For the moment she remains reasonably well and is comfortable and cheerful and I am very thankful for this, at least she is not in pain or discomfort.

I am struggling with my faith (such as it is) at the moment but if any of you do believe in whatever or whoever, please spare a prayer or a positive thought for Mum (her name is Agnes), and I would be grateful for this.

I only manage to check in to FG a couple of times a week now, usually when my sister comes to see Mum and I can have a bit if a break but I do try and keep up with what is happening even if I am not posting much at the moment. Take care of yourselves all of you and I will, no doubt, speak to you again in the future, 'til then love to all,

Gail:-4 :-6

You and your family are in my prayers.

I lost my mother several years ago to glyoblastoma a rare brain cancer. At least it was the kind that causes no pain. It is very hard and difficult to deal with. My father, now gone as well, would not put her in the hospital but looked after her at home right to the end.

It is wonderful that you have her with you. The best you can do is pray for her and try to get out once in awhile. It is not easy as I have said but it is very important for both you and her to be together. Your mother will appreciate it and there is in it a positive memory that you will take with you for the rest of your life. You are there when she needs you the most and that is most important for both of you.

One of the things about life if that God never promised us an easy time but He has promised to be with us and help us through the, more than rough times. I've been there. I cannot know how you feel but I know how I felt and my faith was a blessing.

God bless you and all your family at this very difficult time.

Shalom

hello chocoholic. i am new here too. i just wanted to say that i know how hard it is taking care of an elderly parent. i took care of my dad up until he passed last january. it wasn't easy, he had dementia which progressed to alzheimers.

there were times i would be so short tempered. i did the best i could under the circumstances. i loved him so much and with the help of my family we were able to keep him here with us until the end.

i thank God for giving me the patience and time to have him here with us. we miss him terribly.

your mum is very lucky to have such a caring daughter. not all people can do what you are doing. trust in your faith, your higher power to help you through the hard times.

I will keep you and you mum in my prayers. God Bless.
