She's been fighting cancer on and off for two years.
She had an aggressive breast cancer. It came straight back in her bones directly her treatment finished. Then it came back in the other breast. They won't take it off, they want to see how she responds to this stronger chemo.
She is full of retained fluid. She's on oxygen because she can't get her breath. She can't get upstairs. She can just about hobble to the loo and back before she's completely exhausted. She's got no appetite and she falls asleep a lot.
She's still being offered chemo, when she's well enough to have it. Surely that's a good sign? Would she even be offered it if they didn't think her chances were good? She tells us this is all caused by the chemo but I think it's the cancer.
My dh is worried sick. And all I can think about is how I would break it to our dd's. They adore their nanna.
Really need some advice or just a hand hold.
