Well 2 weeks ago I posted the above and thank you to the numerous people who replied with best wishes type posts
Mum had numerous tests and it was discovered the cancer has spread to her bones, particularly sternum and ribs. However, from going to Drs thinking she only had one or 2 days left, mum has improved so much, she looks so alert, is feeding herself again, getting argumentative (a good sign lol) and actually seems like there is nothing wrong with her now. When she was first admitted 2 weeks ago, she said very weakly she is going to fight this and indeed she has with every ounce of energy she has. The culprit to her bone pain, confusion, was calcium being leaked from her bones into her blood stream causing Hypercalcemia and if u google this she had every symptom going but taking her to the GPs, walk in clinic, gp nurses numerous times, they just said it was arthiritis and possibly early signs of dementia. Mum must have been in tremendous pain since Christmas as that is when we first noticed her deteriorating i.e. bone pain, confusion.
Anyway, today there is going to be a MDT meeting to decide what treatment she will be having. 2 weeks ago they were talking about palliative care. Now mum has improved so much I'm hoping she might be ok to have treatment to "cure" the cancer. Well I know it cant be cured but I hope you know what I mean i.e. radio therapy, etc. She is 83 this year, so I think they will say its palliative care but knowing mum this will go on for years. Blimey I'm rambling now but thinking out loud.
Anyway, please send positive cyber thoughts etc that the MDT will choose the best option for mum

Mum went completely off her food about 2 weeks ago but liked the mullers, hence my many messages asking about them Thank you OPs for the mullers from my mum :beer::D

That is really so fantastic sometimes people want to stay and fight your Mum is certainly one of them

And you all get to have her around to support her through her treatments ...special days ahead for you and your Mum

Oh bubbs, glad it's done now, but God bet that's hard on her relying in others and public transport to get there.

Gocat, so pleased for you and your mum now the docs have found out what's wrong, good luck with it all. Take care xx

Thank you all. Tried to quote everyone, hope it comes out ok. Hope I'm not being too optimistic. I realise these sort of situations can change overnight, but looking good so far

I had a puncture in one of my tyres the other day.Huge 3inch screw.
Took it to the garage for them to put the spare on(no way am I changing wheels).
I went to pick it up this morning and when the chap went to put it back in the boot he found a jar of smart price apple sauce under the carpet.Expiry date aug 15.:rotfl::rotfl:
