I'm so sorry to hear this llf - but I wish your Mum all the luck in the world
and you take care x
Oh crikey LLF ! What a situation! Take each day as it comes and see what happens. I know that doesn't sound right as I'm rubbish with words in times like these but the sentiment's there. Take care of yourself
I'm so sorry to hear about your family situation, LLF and I wish you much love, hope and comfort in the coming days xxx,
ahh, sorry to hear it's not better news. Your mum has a good attitude though, and that will help her through this. Here's hoping they get the chemo just right . Take care !
So sorry that the news wasn't better, my thoughts are with you and your family
so sad to read this - lots of thinking of you
So sorry to hear your news, LLF: my thoughts go out to you and your family.
Right, back home in Wiltshire this evening, feeling wrung out 
My mum is feeling a bit better within herself but according to the staff nurse that doesn't mean that she is any less danger. There is the immediate risk from the chemo and then the medium term risk from infection as the high doses of chemo will knacker her immune system. She could have kidney failure as the rest of her body struggles to cope. If she does survive we will need to be tested for bone marrow compatibility so we can do a transplant - I hope it gets to this point.
We are supposed to be going for a fortnight to Egypt on Tuesday and my parents have told me to go but I feel really really ad about the idea of buggering off abroad while my mum is so poorly. However, we can't afford to do it again and there's no chance of the insurance paying out as it's a pre-existing condition and the children are so looking forward to it. But the idea of going seems so callous.
Everything is so confusing and hard to work with at the moment, I don't know what to do.
Ah LLF my heart goes out to you. It's a horrible time between diagnosis and prognosis....like living in limbo. I don't think you going away is callous, use it as a time for some reflection and enjoy every moment with the kids
