I haven't posted for quite some time as I been caught up with family problems due to my Mums cancer & treatment.She is being admitted into hospital
today for an operation tomorrow morning. It's the next stage in her treatment for Esophageal cancer & a very big step. The operation is a major one
& will put her into Intensive Care for a week, during which time she won't be able to eat or drink. I don't think I could get through a day without
a cup of tea!
She's 74 & it seems an awful lot for her to have to go through but having just lost a member of the family to cancer with no chance to fight it, we appreciate that at least this time we have been given a chance. What we do need though is lots of positive vibes etc to will my Mum through a 4 hour long operation which does carry risks. There was no hesitation from my Mum to go for it though. She's proved herself to be a real fighter, going through 2 sessions of 5 day chemo without a moan. She seems so together as we approach D-day whereas I'm screaming & crying all at once inside. I know she has to have the op but I don't want to let her go in case I don't get her back. I want to be more supportive but it's so hard to keep the tears back. I'm sure a lot of this has been made worse with David only dieing 4 months ago.
Tomorrow is going to be an awful hard waiting game. My Dad can't phone until 2 pm so we'll have to keep ourselves occupied until then. As I said, please think of Mum & the rest of the family. She deserves to come out on the winning side this time.
