Hi there, This is Sue's daughter Tina. Mum always said the most frustrating thing about the Breast Cancer Network was when people just disappeared and you didn't know what happened to them - well you do, but it would be nice to know the full story. Well here's Mum's story. Mum moved in with me about 12 weeks ago for that support that you all encouraged her to get. She stopped all treatment (radiation, chemo etc) after the brain tumours and whole of brain radiation and was just taking medicine to keep her comfortable and maintain her quality of life (pain medication, anti-nausea and some steriods). While she was here we went to morning teas (including a high tea), lunches, the art gallery, the museum, she took her granddaughters to Disney on Ice, we ate chippies and watched movies and went for scenic drives. We weren't ruled by hospital visits for treatment although there were still regular doctors appointments these were no longer the focus of our lives. We will cherish this time with her forever. On the 23rd of July 2016, Mum passed away peacefully in her sleep.

Hi Tina Thank you for letting us know about your Mum, Sue. It's always hits hard when it is someone we know of...............although we don't physically meet we virtually meet and share and support where we can and send positive vibes. It sounds likeSue's last few weeks were at a more peaceful pace and you were able to create wonderful memories for your children as well as yourself. It is never easy losing your Mum, no matter what age you are........... Take care Christine xx

Hi Tina, I don't know what to say other than I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you and your mum were so close and it's wonderful to hear you were able to spend such beautiful times with her. Thank you for letting us know. Take care of yourself and treasure the memories. Hugs San-Dee

This brings me to tears.

I was not next to my mum when she passed the way, as oceans seperated between us.

Keep well and keep her memories forever.

Tina I am so sorry for your loss.

It does sound that at least you and Sue got to have some prescious family time and that you have made her final months trully happy.

Thank you for letting up know and take care of yourself at this difficult time.

Hugs ????????????
