Over the years a few folk on here have shared the loss of parents or loved ones with us all. Despite our ins & outs support & wishes have always been given & in doing so we hope we're doing what little we can to help. I've left a few sympathies & each time it's reminded me my folks are getting on & i'm dreading the phone call.

   Just had it. My brother Phil called. Mum swore Dad to secrecy but he had to tell me so he got Phil to do it. I phoned Dad back & Mum's got cpod or something which restricts the breathing...i've had it explained to me but i'm not with it at the moment but to sum up she's not going to get better. Dad's got one foot out of the door already.

   Phoned work who were great & am popping down to Sussex later next week. Crying, sniffing & feel weak as a kitten.



Although it is a serious problem left untreated it is manageable through drugs and or oxygen..my mum was diagnosied with it earlier this year...once they got mums dose of oxygen correct she was let out of hospital...see her today and she is fine
IT IS NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM but best of luck :y

Sorry to hear this Guy, my dad also has COPD, and has had it for sometime, but it's manageable with the correct treatment, but I will say it'll slow her down a lot. Hope she is ok mate, give her my best, and I hope you're ok :y

Thanks everyone. Phoned today & had to make out to Mum she was telling me something new...not easy! Her version is she's got a tumour on a rib that's invading a lung. She's had some chemo which has'nt worked & been told there's no point putting her through any more as she's too weak to go to hospital. She has what she calls an unbearable head pain...not a migraine, a horrible taste in her mouth which has put her off her food & drink & she only get's up for an hour or two around lunchtime every day.

   This started in March this year before which she was still driving, gardening, walking the dogs etc.

Forgot to say they have private healthcare policies so are looked after at home as Dad is 81 & can only do so much plus it's taking the last of the fight out of him.


   I feel so useless. I can't protect her or fight it off for her. I should be able to do something but i just can't.

Guy, I feel your pain and am gutted for you. We were only down that way this weekend for a wedding. If I hadn't been so knackered last night I'd have seen this and offered to pop round for you :(

If there's anything I/we can do to help out, just shout :y

Im feeling the pain you are going through at the mo and I know how much it hurts.

 One bit of advice I was given yrs ago which has always stuck with me is ,,,,,,,, Dont bottle it up , let it out   as no one will think any less of you if you do shed a tear  or two at this horrible time.

A mum can get many sons.

A son only gets one Mum.

Look after her......   :y
