Just heard from my sister, the treatment has been stopped now, for what reason exactly is unclear, but her pain relief has been increased.

 

Emma just sent me this when I asked why they have stopped the treatment 

 

Because she can't take the medication and she said it's cruel to keep trying to make her

 

Seems strange this to me.

 

It must be terrible for you to hear this, but this is not strange. Pain relief is important, no need for your mother to suffer without reason. My grandmother had cancer and when the treatment no longer had any chance of saving her from the disease the treatment was stopped and from then on they focused on saving her from the suffering.

Thanks, I have been in contact with my sister all day, my mom has slept most of the day, fading in and out of a sleep state, when awake, she is unable to talk properly, but appears to know who's there with her, my aunties, uncles, and family have all been to the ward today too.

 

Just heard from Emma that she managed to eat some ice cream this evening, so thats a good thing.  My other sister, Kerry will be staying with her overnight in the ward.

Her comfort is now paramount. She maybe holding out for you to get to her, don't make her wait. Fingers crossed that you get there in time to comfort her.

Good.

I know it's an awful situation, but you both need this. If you want a beer later let me know.

Kernow, Micky and AJ, please go have a couple rounds of beers on me when you get the chance. I'm holding out hope you'll make it in time. Someone PM me the damage and I'll cover it.
