So mum has finished with her treatments for the melanoma. She’s had two severe reactions, one to the good stuff and another to an earlier. Sadly means she’s been switched to palliative care so hasn’t been given a time frame but is on the way out.
Dad and I are getting by and doing ok with the housework. It’s rather a busy life these days but it’s nothing hard to deal with. It’ll be a big shock when she’s gone so hoping she’s around a bit longer still! In suprisingly good spirits but she’s a champ!
Sorry to hear that. Melanoma is so aggressive so they usually have to attack it aggressively, and sadly not everyone copes with that. Palliative care these days is done so well. She shouldn’t suffer too much. Look after yourselves.
Sorry rogueone, my ex has the big ‘C’ at the moment I’ve been praying for her in my own way but it’s hard to know what to do so we’re just getting on with things, blessings to your mum rogueone.
I’m so sorry to hear about your mom, @rogueone. I lost my mom two years ago and she had palliative care too. With palliative care, the patient is kept clean and comfortable. It was hard to lose my mom but, she died in comfort and peace. I wish this for your mom too.
And, I agree with @Moonbeam: spend as much time with her as you can.
Thanks girls and guys!! Much appreciated! It’s a big loss for our family. Mum’s been the rock that held us all together…we’ll get by but it’s still something hard to process. I can’t imagine her gone but she’s struggling so you don’t won’t to see anyone in pain. Still . We’re doing ok. Dad is doing great…I’m there and doing a bit more every day!
