Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 31 | Hi all,
I just got off the phone with my twin. Mums CAT scan showed a massive tumour in her stomach, and another new one in her lung.
If she recovers from the renal failure, they're saying no more treatment and she'll be going into a hospice.
If she doesn't show any signs of improvement in the next 24 hours, then it's only a matter of days.
Thank you for all your kind words and support, it means a lot to me right now.
She's very confused, doesn't know where she is, doesn't know who Jon and Lisa are. The hospital won't let me talk to her. The last time I talked to her was right before she went on holiday.
Mum - sick as a dog, see her sig.
Dad - diagnosed with throat cancer late 2007.

I think you are right, sleep is needed. A little sleep will help you, might make you feel a bit stronger and maybe help you stop shaking as much. We're all here for you.
Love and Prayers.
