I'm so sorry. I don't know what else to say. I lost my mother when I was young and I can say that the love and presence of extended family is so, so important. It sounds like your cousin will have that in you, which counts for a lot. But to be 13 and losing your mum.. that poor child. Wishing you all some peaceful, beautiful, even joy-filled moments over the coming months. x

So sorry to hear that. My aunt is currently fighting cancer. it's shit and stressful. I'm really hoping our family will not to be in this position next month after her scan Sad

My thoughts are with you...enjoy the time you have left.. Make as many memories as possible and treasure her while you can.

Oh I am so very sorry. I hope she gets to see her gc and that she is comfortable. Have you been put in touch with the palliative care team. My dad had Marie Curie nurses come out in th evening to allow family to get some sleep. They were fantastic.

I will be thinking of you and your family and please do come back (if you want to the Tamoxifen thread).

flyingunderpants · 23/08/2012 07:27

Thank you to all of you for your kind words.
KurriKurri and graciesmall99 thank you i will go back onto the Tamoxifen thread. I wasn't sure that it was the right place to post,when you are all having to fight this too.

Hello I know we don`t know each other but just wanted to say how sorry I am too. Life is very cruel. I lost my son when he was 14 to sudden death, and now my husband has stage 4 bowel cancer. It is sooooooo important to have support, either through family or friends, never be afraid to say how you feel. I pray that you will all be able to share and enjoy the coming days, weeks and you will all find peace in your hearts. xx

graciesmall09 · 27/08/2012 17:21

flyingunderpants was thinking about you and your aunt today and wondering how you are all coping.

flyingunderpants · 06/09/2012 23:06

triplets only just seen your reply.Thank you for your prays.You and your family will be in my prayers too.So sorry to read you lost your son,a mothers worse nightmare to lose her child.Sending healing prayers to your husband.x

graciesmall09 thank you for thinking about me and my aunt.
She has been home aweek now.She has a hospital bed,which she is unable to get out off.But she has some really lovely carers,who come in three times aday.
I spent a couple of hours with her today.We just talked and laughed,and remembered the old days.I was her bridesmaid 30 years ago,and she had some photo's of me on her shelf.Some of the time i couldn't understand her,because the cancer has spread to her brain.
It was sad but nice.

Glad to hear that the carers are lovely. My dad had some lovely Marie Curie nurses who were just so calm and caring. It is good that you had a nice time with your aunt. I will be thinking of you in the days ahead.
