Sorry for all you have and are going through Sarah. I'm going through the same thing with my Dad. Last time I was with him (Nan's funeral) he was ok. His count was low. He has Prostate cancer.
Although his count was low it had spread to surrounding tissues.
Well he went back for a 3 monthly check up and his Injection, now his count his through the roof. Had a scan and now it's spread to is hip and his spine.
He is on Morphine which is making him ill and the Mcmillans nurses are visiting.
I'm going to look at leaving the Army pretty rapidly, I want to be there for my Dad as he was there for me as a kid.
My thoughts are with you at this difficult time, the good thing is she isn't in any pain matey.
Keep your chin up girl.

Aston - I hope you get the army leave sorted so that you can be there for him. He is in good hands with the mcmillan nurses - they are excellent and will fight some of the fights that need to be fouught to get the besttreatment from the nhs. Hopefully he will pull through.
Sara, I lost my mum 9 years ago this month to ovarian cancer.
I am very sorry for your loss, and can assure you that though you will never feel the same again, you will be able to look back in the future and smile at your memories. Thats the stage I have reached now, and it still brings a tear to my eyes.
Happy times like weddings and births and when it can be tough, but you will always have a warm feeling of being watched over.
I would advise surrounding yourself with people as much as you can as you can extract a lot of strength from others around you who love you.

Sara and Leslie, my deepest sympathies to you both.
I like a lot who have posted on this thread lost my mother, five years ago.
I knew that she was dying, knowing this was a great burden but also a blessing, it gave me the opportunity to say the things I needed to and my goodbyes. So many lose their loved ones, bearing unfinished business.
My thoughts are with you both.

I lost my dad to cancer when I was very young (25 years ago). Don’t know if I could cope with something like that now as I didn’t really know what was going on as I was that young.
Reading this thread it seems you have coped remarkably with it over the past months (better than I would). So I think after the funeral you should dedicate a few weeks solely for you. Go on holiday and chill out, I think you deserve it

You will !!
I remember helping carry my dad's coffin with a broken Fibula and Tibula, the coffin was wobbling a bit but we made it and then celebrated his life with a few beers as i'm sure you will.

I've been following this thread since it started, I think Sarah has been very brave to continue to keep us up to date and I know its made a whole load of people look at cancer in a different way. I feel so sad for your loss, its tragic watching this disease take some one you love so very much.
Some one already suggested putting a pound (or more) in a cancer charity tin next time you see one, do that for Sarah and her Mum.
I lost both of my parents and in-laws to cancer and am currently in remission myself after suffering the damn thing fo the second time in 12 years so I know how it screws your life up.
Try reading Lance Armstrongs book, "Its not about the bike" its a wonderful book and its gives us all hope ...............

From what I've guaged of you you will spend all day trying to make sure everyone else is OK - please remember that you have to take the time to remember your Mum and the memories you have of her.
Good Luck.
Jase.
