My mum has cancer and it is unfortunately terminal, we dont know how long she has, but she has kept herself cheerful despite being in severe pain, she is also nauseous all the time, this means her morphine isnt getting into her system.
On Friday she was lucky enough to be given a bed for 2 weeks in a local hospice, whilst they try to control her pain and nauseousness.
I know it will be a bit hit and miss whilst they try different drugs, but I hate to see her suffering, she is the kindest lady I know, not just because she is my mum, but I dont know anyone else who is as popular, she gets over 70 birthday cards from friends

I know she will not get better and is going to die very soon, but plese pray for her to be pain free in the short time she has left.

So sorry to hear the news about your Mum. Morphine does make a lot of people nauseous but they should be able to give her something to control that as well.

I will be praying for her and thinking lots of positive thoughts that the pain is controlled for her and she can enjoy the final days of her life.

Also (((((hugs))))) for you.

My love and prayers to you and your family,Ann
I felt a strength in your mothers words of her deep faith, I would like to share this poem with you,I feel it would be the sort of thing she would say....

If I should go..
Anon

If I should go tomorrow
it would never be goodbye,
for I have left my heart with you,
so don't you ever cry,
the love that's deep within me,
shall reach you from the stars,
you will feel it in the heavens,
and it will heal the scars...

Dear Ann, I am so sorry.

Let me just add that hospices are wonderful places, in my experience, and the people there will do the very best for your Mum as long as she is with us xxxx

Mum has had a very bad day today, and they have put her on a morphine drip, which is slow release, but takes some time to get into her system properly.
My husband went to see her this afternoon whilst I was at work and he came home very distressed. I rang the hospice at teatime, and spoke to mum,she said she was too weary and tired to see me, as she just wanted to sleep. So i havent seen her tonight.

Jean thank you for your poem it is beautiful, and I can hear mum saying the words.

Mum is only 77 years old, but cancer has no respect for age, At least she made 77 so many sufferers dont

Good night to you all, thank you for your kind words and prayers

God bless
Ann
