Eddie, all I can say is "Phew- glad he has gone." What a relief for you.

No, my 17 year old will NOT be bringing any boys home. She is too busy doing her IB exams, then we are off to the UK and Tokyo.

I think Zulu is misunderstood. I reckon we should all meet in the Lucky Shag and show Bernie that not all Perth folk are dull!!

Had a guest from the UK this week. He's just gone up to Coff's Harbour. I am exhausted from all the walking I've done showing him the sights of Sydney. He is a photographer, so he has done some unusual shots- not your usual views.

Can't even drive today as the legs are cramped up. Missing my mahjong this week, but I'd be too mentally drained even if I could get there. I've got a week to recover before he comes back for another week.

Had a pretty crappy week (literally), been off sick all week with gastro, still not quite over it.

Then this morning it got a bit worse (not the gastro),

Had a message from my brother in UK this morning.

Mum has liver cancer and had had 2 sessions of chemo. The second session left her with blood clots on her lungs, which meant they had to put an umbrella in her heart, she couldn't have it done at first as her platelet level was so low, so she had an infusion, after that they did it under local anaesthetic.

That was 4 weeks ago, she was supposed to have another chemo session on Monday, but she still wasn't well enough so they were going to do it yesterday.

This morning I found out she isn't going to be doing any more chemo, the cancer has spread quite a lot and she only has weeks and months rather than months and years.

I'm absolutely devastated and really don't know when to go for the best. I want to go right now this minute, but I would also love to be there at Christmas and have a Christmas with her, and then again I want to be with her at the end and I have no idea when that would be.

With my other brother still not speaking to me I don't want to be there when he is as I don't want it to be hard on mum at all.

What a shit start to the weekend, and with still feeling like crap I can't drown my sorrows

Can you and your brother can put your differences aside under the circumstances? Have you spoken to her doctors... Be straight forward with them and see if they have any answers. Yes no one knows how long any of us have, but they should have an idea at where she is I. The grand scheme of things.....
