In memory of
My Mum and Grandad Vic.
My Story
In October 2017 we got the dreadful news that my mum had single cell lung cancer. The consultant told us it was treatable but not curable which turnt my family's world upside down. In January 2018 my Grandad Vic was admitted into hospital and we recived more dreadful news that he had Bowel cancer and Liver cancer. On the 19th February 2018 my Grandad passed away peacefully in his sleep. My mum was under going chemotherapy and we got good news that the cancer has shrunk, so they out her under radiotherapy to kill the cancer some more. In June 2018 my mum was admitted into hospital and after CT scans and MRI scans we recived more dreadful news that the cancer had spread to her brain and she had 4 brain tumours that they could see. My mum then asked the question of "how long have I got left to live" and they told us about 3 months. On the 28th July 2018 my mum passed away at 5:10am with me and my dad with her.
