The inevitable !
Visited my mum again on Thursday to take her along for a Friday am appointment at the Romford breast cancer hospital.
The news we half expected, and found out after, that she had also, was that the lump which had reduced on the last visit, and was being controlled by the drugs, has now grown.
The drugs have failed, and the inevitable must now happen.
All we have to hope is that it has not spread. The next appointment is a scan.
Followed soon after, we assume by the big operation.
Mum's ok and has accepted what has to be done, at 87 I suppose decisions like this are easier? I don't know!
We know even more where our funds will be directed, the nursing staff at this NHS facility are diamonds, although the "Specialist" needs to be able to look his patient in the eye when passing on bad news....especially when the patient is nearly deaf!!
Good job we were there to tell her what he said, especially as it needed clarification from the African accent.
We only stayed just a short while, two nights, so that I could get back and finish off the work of magazine production whilst we await the call.
