I sat with my mum only a few weeks ago watching her die from liver cancer, a secondary from breast cancer two years earlier. the last few days were awful and yes i did feel like i wanted to help her along. When she did die though, had i done anything to assist her then i'm afraid that i probably couldn't have lived with the guilt. She was 81 and did not tell anyone about the breast problem until it was far too late in spight of my wife being a retired nursing sister and my sister a staff nurse. I think at that age they dont discuss their bita do they. KIeep up the self examination girls and tell someone the minute you find anything unusual.
