Just over a year ago, my mum was diagnosed with cancer. She was placed on a chemotherapy which stopped the tumors growing while she was on it, but left her with no remission afterwards. She was then placed on a second chemotherapy which had the same effect. She was recently placed on her third type of chemotherapy, but the results of her last scan showed it wasn't working at all and the tumors were pressing into her kidneys.
She will soon be going on her last chemotherapy, but has been told if that doesn't work she will be very ill by December. This news made me angry about how unfair life can be. It's made me so sad to think she'll miss me getting married and she won't meet my children.
