What're you doing on here????

We too had a lovely time last night - just shoved some more of the special low fat calorie free pavlova in my cake hole - yummy!

I think I know what I'm facing with my Mum - the look on yours and Beryls faces when I mentioned the PET scan said it all really and really would she be having such an expensive treatment on just a looksee - I don't think so!

But I will be strong and I am in much more control of my emotions at the moment thanks to all my wonderful friends I have here.

Henry thought he had been given the best treat ever last night - straight out into the garden to eat it in peace!

I'll talk to you in the week, love to you both.

Re: This is when it's hard!
 

Hi Piff Poff. Not been on pewter for last few days, long story. :rolleyes:
Still thinking of you and your mum.
Your mum and you, sound like my mum and me. !!!!! :unsure:
Enough said, ha ha.
I have been in the same position as you are now.
My dad said, never to spend money to fly back home, but just to remember them, as we last saw them.. :confused::cry_smile:

I know exactly what you are going through. Been there, got the T.Shirt, etc.
Best Wishes. Pam xx

"L"......sorry I didn't even know this thread existed until I thought I'd have a sneaky nosey on Expats after a week off it!! You know I've been staying away. So sorry to hear about your mum....but for now, you can take a breather in that everything must be ok for them to release her from hospital :) Let's see what the scan brings eh. Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to give you a call Monday to arrange for a meet up if you're up to it this week:)

Why don't you think you're getting the whole story?

Re: This is when it's hard!
 

It made me smile because her daughter is only 6 - she's going to just get through one lot of teen years and then have to do double:eek: I was smiling 'cause it's not me:rofl:

Re: This is when it's hard!
 

Thanks again folks, I am sitting here impatiently waiting for the phone to ring so my Mum can tell me how the scan went today - really I think she should be in bed by now but she said she would call at 10pm UK time so she could tell me about it and let me know when the results are in.

Rubes, I think a chat would be good this week.

Rosylady, thank you for the support.

Caitilin, it's because of past history - the last op she went for I was told was an explority and nothing to worry about - it was over 2 years before I found out that the survival rate for the particular op she had was only 1 in 8.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Piff Poff:thumbsup:

Re: This is when it's hard!
 

Well! Today I have heard from my Mum, she has at last had the much awaited test results and dada dummmmm, she's not got cancer! The consultant/specialist isn't sure what is going on with her and she may need an op, he has said there is an op but he won't do it on her unless absolutley necessary but there is a smaller op that she may need to have but he's not sure as she isn't a 'Usual' case. So she got 'Usually we would expect abc to happen but in your case ab and z happened.' So she will be kept an eye on. But it's not the BIG C! YAY!:thumbsup:
