:(
She has just been diagnosed with cancer of the bowel, liver and lungs. She starts chemo a few days after her 78th birthday and I have absolutely no idea what to get her for her birthday. We are obviously all hoping she will get through it all but it's looking like a very grim path ahead.
She is simply the absolute best MIL, a treasure of a lady who will be utterly missed. From those who have been through cancer, or cared for someone who has, there anything you think would make life a bit more comfortable or special? She has been inundated with flowers as it is. Or should I just buy what we'd normally get her, like jewellery, scarf, clothes sort of thing?
I hope this post doesn't sound insensitive as in just because you have cancer you'd want something different for your birthday. I'm just wondering if there's anything that would make life a bit easier or have had lots of thought put into it.
Many thanks.
