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.

I hope so much that this will be a peaceful family time for her and for all of you - to share memories and say goodbyes with the wonderful professional support of nurses who are there for her (and also for all of you) and whose focus is peace, honesty, dignity and freedom from pain.

I am thinking of you all. xx

Merlot so sad for you everything you are feeling is normal of course you are scared but so much better for your daughter to come home instead of staying in hospital . I would have so liked to have been able to do that. Thinking of you all, you will find the strength to manage this be together as much as you can
