Well the punches keep rolling for the ol' girl.
Just learned yesterday big C. in the bowel. Looks like IV.
The last 8 months have been hell for her ever since that fall and now completely unrelated.. this. Pretty limited therapy when pushing 80yo. She'll be going in for an op but chemo/radio is out of the question. Working out the spread basically means just working out (guessing) how long.
Universe can be cruel.
e: Thanks all for the kind words.
Iβm so sorry. I hope things go as well as they possibly can for your mum and that sheβs well supported
Oh shit, thatβs awful. Iβm so sorry
