Mil has been diagnosed with brain, lung and liver cancer.

She was given the all clear from breast and skin cancer in 2004.

It was only confirmed last week. 😔

She's terrified.

We don't know yet how much time or what treatment she's going to face.

No answers but sending Flowers and hugs for you all.

My only advice is to listen and be as impartial as possible giving her time and space to consider her options going forward.
And be gentle with each other, this ruddy disease cripples those around us not just the patient. xx

((Hugs))

Scary times ahead, do you know yet which is the primary ? There's lots of support groups for each type of Facebook.

It's terminal. She's facing death. We are all stunned and horrified. Dh is like a zombie but with tears pouring down his face. I cannot imagine what she is going through.

I am so sorry OP. Have the doctors given any treatment options to manage symptoms or give her more time, or have they said how much time she might have left? I hope she is able to have some good times and make happy memories for you all over the coming weeks and months x
