Well, what news our family got on Thursday...my mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer! What a shock it was...first me, then 2 and a half years later my mum! Unbelieveable considering we have no h...
I have just got off the phone from talking to my sister and she has brought me up to date with everything. Mum will go home tomorrow after the knee op and then they'll organise her breast surgery in I guess a few weeks. Pauline ( my sister) says they'll do a sentinel node biopsy and mastectomy. I guess they'll wait on the pathology to decide the next step. The worry now is that she is on warfarin for the lung clot so she could bleed ( I did without the pills!!). She's just been through a big op just hope she can take it. She has a history of depression so Pauline will be watching her like a hawk! As I said before dad is hopeless although fit and able he doesn't do illness. They can afford to have some nursing help at home if it comes to it and I told Pauline that she needs to suggest it or she'll be the one who is ill next.
It's hard being so far away, have just gone back to work after 10 months off so can't really dash over there at the moment.
