Dean,

I sincerely know how you feel mate, I lost my mum 11 years ago right before Christmas all of a sudden no warning and no illness beforehand. I think mums are harder to loose.

My Dad has been battling lung cancer and the doctors didn't give us any answers but that was 1 year ago and after months and months of Chemo he sort of seems himself again. I lost an uncle last year to the dreaded rust. All I can say is that i can only hope that you are fortunate enough to spend some quality time with your Mum in advance of when her time comes. It's hard but the best times in your life need to be bought to the front of your mind, it makes the pain easier.
