My gran was diagnosed with liver, bone and poss lung mets in october and has been told today that she has 2 days if that to live. Shock is an understatement. She was feeling a bit sick snd occasionally being sick for a few weeks now and all of a sudden last weds she rapidly went down hill, her mental state was shocking to see memory loss and severe fatigue. I dont really know why im posting here and i dont want to sound graphic but the sudden declibe in her health has been the hardest part to dealwith for all of us. We had no idea the liver could affect a person so much. She is a brave lady and from the start was ready to fight and would have had more chemo if she was well enough. This disease is do unbelievably cruel it hurts to see someone u love deteriorate so fast and be powerless to stiop it. I posted on here a few times re her treatment good scans and symptoms and wanted to thank those who replied it did help an awful lot. This forum was my coping mechanism, so thanks to all u brave women and i hope u all continue to be successful with treatments, my gran was 74 but it still doesnt nake it easier like all those who have this disease she did not deserve this, she was still too young. Sorry for the rambling just needed to offload!
Thanks for listening

Hi Vicky
I am so sorry to hear of the situation with your gran. You are right, this disease is so unfair. I am sure your gran has been very proud of you as you sound such a caring person. I hope you can continue to get some comfort from good memories. Take care. Jayne.
Hi Vicky,
So very sad to read your post and such a shock for you all, you just ramble away, it’s wonderful to see the love you have for your grandma, she must be so proud of you, take care xx
Thank u jane and katyc for Replying, it means so much. I abdolutely adored her she was my friend as well as my gran she was always there for me making me laugh and giving advice, wed go shopping every friday to marks and spencers and go for lunch even tho it was frustrating at times as she could be a fussy bugger bless her, i guess i can be thankful for the relationship we had i will always hold it dear to me. For that i am so grateful,

Vicky, I too had a brilliant relationship with my Nan, she made me laugh, we had a lot of fun together, I will never forget her, stop missing her, and loving her, the memories are in my heart for ever. It is fantastic that you and your gran have that kind of relationship, so lucky to have had that special love, hugs to you xx

Hi ladies
I went to see her again today, my mum said she was in good spirits and a little more chatty than yesterday, i was scared but she had asked my sister where i was yday and i didnt want to regret not going when she was stull thinking about me. Im sooo glad i did, she was so at peace she had her last rites last night and the priest came again today he was lovely stroked her head amd called her honey, we were all laughing dont think shed ever been called that before in her life! He told her how much the family and god loved her, it was lovely she really appreciated it as did we. I feel much more at peace myself, she is on no painkillers at all all natural its lovely to see at Such a hard time. I guess i just wanted to share that even though the outcome is that she will die, she is at peace and painfree, a passing that we all hope for,
Thanks again for listening
