oh dear Lizzie, so sorry to hear about your mum's condition. The road ahead is not going to get any easier, but you know that already, so stay strong and take good care of yourself if you need to take good care of your mum. Do you still have the wonderful helper who was was looking after your mum previously? Can she help with more hours to give you some breathing space?
Yes, the road ahead is going to be full of more downs than ups! The neurologist thinks it's multiple seizures due to the inflammation around the tumour which is causing more pressure on the brain stem. Mom is on a steroid to reduce the inflammation and looks like the new anticonvulsants are agreeing with her. It's just awful for her as she knows what's going on but her speech has been badly affected! She now keeps on asking if she'll ever get better but says she has no pain!
Our Cynthia took 3 weeks leave, is back next week and will be shocked to see Mom like this. It's going to be a big help to have her back!
Thank you so much for your encouragement @livinguktaiwan 💞
