Oh! Maureen, as Caro says life can be cruel, but if the doctor says it is treatable, that is a shining light, sending you double strength, double hope & double hugs :grouphug::grouphug: it's the only way I know how to give you support ... thinking of you!!!

Devastating news Maureen on top of everything else, however the positive is that your daughter's cancer is treatable-sending support and best wishes to all the family.:grouphug:

More support from me too Maureen. I'm lost for words to express how I feel about your latest blow. I will keep thinking about you all day everyday. The lowest ebb is the turning of the tide. xx

Back after a week away to bad news all round. So very sorry Maureen for the double blows you've been dealt. You are in my thoughts and prayers. x

Alan is slowly reaching the end of his life. The GP has taken him off the tablets and only liquid medication given, that not always successful now. Has been unable to take food all week and only managing very few sips of liquid now. He doesn't wake up now and very occasionally his eyes will open for a moment and then close again. He has lost weight on his body and limbs but looks quite healthy still. His breathing changes throughout the day and sometimes he makes noises. The district nurses have received a prescription for drugs that will be injected when needed. They're not in the house yet.He looks very comfortable and peaceful. So we wait and my heart breaks a little more each day.

hi Supergran, i remember when my mum died, 10 days after a stroke, i found i had done a lot of my grieving before her death. it was an odd time, visiting her, talking a lot to her tho she was unconscious of course, coming home and making arrangements for what would happen after her death. being in 2 time frames, now and in the near future ... a grieving daughter and a 50yr old orphan, and i did feel very much an orphan then. so for you Supergran it's a grieving wife, saying your goodbyes really, and preparing for a new stage of life, a widow and a much needed mum. i hope i haven't depressed you, i feel for you very much, but all you can do is bear up, i know you will and i send you my best wishes - take comfort from all your friends on this forum please.
