6 months ago my mum died of cancer.

I'm not asking for Faves or anything but I'm just asking you to listen to my story.

When i was six she was diagnosed with breast cancer. I didn't understand any of this beings as i was so young. I was told ;

'Mummys got an illness but don't you worry we will get her better'

This happened. She went through weeks of Chemotherapy and after that radiotherapy until she got that relief of an all clear. She went through 5 years of almost perfect health but then she started to have trouble breathing. Sensibly she went to the hospital and had her lung drained. They then took the fluid away for lab testing as something wasn't quite right. The results came back on the 23rd of December. Two days before Christmas. They told us that she had cancer but fortunately it wasn't aggressive. She only needed bone strengthening medicine as it was also in her bones. She went through a few months of regular hospital appointments but then she was told the cancer was spreading a little bit so she needed MORE Chemotherapy. She had six weeks of Chemotherapy and then again we got another all clear. She had beat cancer or so we thought. She still had slight breathing trouble so in November last year she had another appointment to have her lung drained. They kept her in hospital for a week and then on the Friday she was released. After that she slowly started to go down hill. She had weeks off work and the in December she was getting so much worse. She ended up needing a wheelchair so she could still get out and about. The breathing kept on getting worse so in the end she couldn't get up the stairs to bed and ended up sleeping on the sofa. On day back in January she was having such trouble breathing she ACTUALLY asked to go to hospital. Sadly Two days later she died peacefully in her sleep one week away from her 46th birthday.

This horrid illness had got the better of her.

I'm not asking for this to be favorited a million times but I'm just here to say if any of you at all know anybody suffering this horrid, horrid illness i am here for the support you need. I can't promise anything but I can say you don't need to suffer in silence
