It will be for the last time as there is no further treatment possible other than pain relief. She wants to be at home with all of us so we will do everything we can to make whatever time she has left comfortable and stress free. We will have support from Macmillan and district nurses and should there come a time when we are no longer able to cope, DD has agreed to go into a hospice.

Family support has been wonderful but I have to admit I'm a little scared and very, very sad.

Such a sad time for you all, my friend went through same thing with her 22yr old daughter last year so I know how hard it is to deal with.
My thoughts are with you and the family.

Very sorry merlotgran. So hard for you.

Thank you all for your kind messages and concern. DD rallied the morning after my last post and the last couple of days have been filled with her care, pain control and emotional support. The hospice staff are wonderful and we have a flat at our disposal where we can grab sleep, shower and prepare meals. We are truly lucky to be so well supported. DD is very sleepy today, the pain medication is constantly being topped up and there is a lot of confusion. In my heart of hearts I want it to be over soon but she's still fighting so we're with her every step of the way.

Kindest and loving thoughts to you all.
We are all so full of compassion for your whole family.
What marvellous support you are receiving, a blessing in itself.

Have been thinking of you and your daughter Merlot. I am glad she has rallied a little and you are getting wonderful support, but you walk a hard and painful road. Sending love and sincere sympathy.

I shall I light a candle in church for your DD, you and family tomorrow. How lucky she is surrounded by all who love her.

What a brave DD you have. ?
