Hello, My mother has stage iv breast cancer, she was diagnosed about 6 years ago and after treatment everything was looking good, however last year she began suffering pain in her back and was continually misdiagnosed until august when it was confirmed that the breast cancer had spread to her bones, after extended periods on chemotherapy, in february this year she had to stop as it was affecting her Heart, since then she has started to suffer from nauesia and headaches and so she was given an MRI three days ago, today the results show she has LOTS of brain tumours, the biggest being 2cm so they are going to start radiation therapy. I am currently working away and in three weeks i am going to be home before going away for another month. Should I be planning to organise some time off work? Im worried that she will really start to go downhill quickly.
