Just need to vent!

[steeveeboy]

Good afternoon PH!
I'm sorry if this thread upsets anyone or is an annoyance but I just need to vent, my nan is dying of leukaemia.
She's had it on and off for 12 years which apparently is a good innings, now her condition has deteriorated and the outcome is inevitable, she's been like a mum to me when mine was elsewhere occupado, Im struggling to come to terms with this.

Nothing I can say except send you hugs and I hope you can find some happy times in these last precious weeks with your Nan.

If you can bear to be there to the end you will not regret it, you have my deepest sympathy.

So we had the news we were all dreading today, treatment has ceased, there's nothing more they can do, I'm absolutely heartbroken, thank you for the kind words and support

Now will start a new regime of treatment, I hope it goes smoothly for you all.

Just an update of my ventings,
Nan is home now, her consultant says home to die and it's just sinking in :'( she's now down to 4st total body weight, she looks so ill and is begging daily for pain relief, she said she can feel the cancer moving around, it's heartbreaking, thankyou for all your kind words and support, greatly needed and received!

Nothing I can say can make things better.
But at least you knew her and spent time with her and will have all those memories.
Never met any of my grandparents and I am envious of people who have

. Try and be brave for her and make sure you are there as much as you can be and talk tell her everything you want her to know.

Thinking of you and wishing your Nan a peaceful end

[Antonia]

Hang on in there.
I hope you have enough support re pain relief etc for your Nan.

I was in a similar situation a few years back. I spent as much time with my nan as I could chatting to her and offering reassurance (my nan said she was scared, so reassurance was what she needed).

I also found that things like helping her to sit and rubbing her back where she had been lying down for so long gave additional comfort to her.

It is a tough time, but make the most of it is my advice.

Thanks again for the kind words and advice, my other nan (dads mum) died when I was 9 months old, I've been there every day this week from half 8 until 11 at night, it's hard and today wa a bad day but I'm now prepare after finding out at nearly 18 I'm going to be a dad, wasnt planned but it's not the usual chavs needing the extra benefits, I am financially stable and me and the other half love each other and have been together for quite a long time, I'm thrilled so it's helping

Aww congratulations (life moves on) Have you told your Nan, I bet she'd be so happy to hear this.

[steeveeboy]
