So here we are the eve of Mum's radiotherapy treatment.
Tomorrow she is going to have preventative treatment on her brain, it is the most likely place small cell lung cancer spreads next.
The treatment involves a plastacast being made of her head and turning this into a mesh or perspex mask with just nose and mouth exposed.
When all this is done, and placed on her head, it is then all attached to the treatment table, as it is vital that her head doesnt move during treatment.
All sounds pretty scary and I know that Mum is worried about having this treatment.
It has been nearly 3 weeks since I spoke to mum, I have sent a couple of peace offerings and was going to go and see her, but today I have arrived home from work to find a note shoved through my letterbox from Mum telling me to stay away from her.
All this because I told my 'sibling' some home truths as I wanted desperately for them to be able to stand on their own two feet.
All done with the best of intentions, to try to enable them to cope with a life without Mum, when the inevitable happens.
Some would say that maybe it wasnt my place to incite this, but if I didn't speak out. Who would?
If she wants me to stay away, then I will. I just hope she realises what she has done.
