Dh-update

[Blandmum]

He is very ill, and spent most of the day sleeping. They have made him as comfortable as they can, and I did get to have a about 15 minutes chatting with him and the kids this afternoon.

But it is clear that he is getting iller by the hour.

I realise that it is almost impossible to predict these things but his consultant thinks that he probably has around a week or so to live, less if he continues to get worse as he has over the last few days.

I know that MN is amazingly supportive, and I don't know where I would be without your kind words of support. If you feel that you want to 'do' anything can I ask that you contribute a few bob to your local hospice or the Macmillan Cancer relief charity? Dh and I are 'sorted' financially, and we would both like to think that he was remembered by people all over the UK helping people in their local communities.

We are hoping to get his MBE presented in the hospice (thanks to the wonderful work of MI, her mate in the FCO and the RAF.....a rare combination of disparate souls )

Much love and thanks

Strength and thoughts as always MB.

We are working very hard to get it to him when he is well enough to know about it, and enjoy it. I feel that his dignity is of paramount importance

Absolutely MB - maintaining his dignity is hugely important!

Wishing you all Peace, love and strength at this time

In my thoughts

Thinking of you and your family MB.

so so sorry to hear this Mr and Mrs MB - as always thinking of others before yourself. Hope his precious few days bring peace, tranquility and dignity.

I'm so sorry this is happening to such a wonderful family.

I'm doing the Jane Tomlinson Leeds 10k on Sunday and your posts have inspired me to actually sort out my fundraising page, all cash will be going to Macmillan.

Mb, you and your dh have shown huge amounts of strength and dignity over the last year - I have every confidence that with you at his side, and thousands of Mumsnetters virtually stood behind you, you will be able to maintain it.

I am very sorry to hear your news. Will increase existing direct debit for local children's hospice.

Thinking of you all.

Hope you manage to get him his mbe.

Oh MB....I know this sounds crazy, given that its the internet and we don't really knwo each other but I've been dreading this stage coming.
It breaks my heart to read you're losing your wonderful husband to this awful diesease, I cannot imagine how you must feel actually living through it.

My Dad died on cancer when I was 13 and reading your posts gives me a tiny insight of what my mum went through, and how she felt and I feel like I should thankyou for giving me that knowledge.

It really is a shitty shitty diesease.

As I said on your thread the other day, you, your DH and the relationship you have are an inspiration to me.

MB, I was gutted to read this even though I was expecting it IYKWIM. I am so sorry, and just thinking of you all with much love. Will donate too, of course.

And please, please, do use us for any going to pieces that you need and want to do. Anything. Scream and rant at the awful bloody unfairness of it all. If you want.

Oh MB. I am so sorry
We regularly donate to our local hospice as my lovely grandad died there and will continue to do so. They do special work, don't they.

Thinking of Mr MB, you children and you. Look after yourself x

Thinking of you all xx

MB
So sorry is has come to this - and that you are facing the hardest time of your life.

When my best mate died she asked one of us to stay with her over night and the hospice were fabulous about this - we had some of our best times then - talking and crying without the hussle and bussle.

I wonder if you can do this? if you want/need to? Even just once or twice

Take care , wishing you strength

Very sorry MB.

I have seen the support you have offered to other people on here even

over the last few days and hope MN can can return some of that to you.

Will donate.
