  15. Mum has got terminal liver cancer. She has not long left. I feel dreadful right now.

    1. Chris116

      Chris116

      Very sorry to hear your sad news. My mum died in 1995 through liver cancer but she had three good years from when she was diagnosed. Make the most of the time you have left with her, celebrate her life when she passes and always remember the good times, living your life to the full as she would want.
