A little update on my mum's health, for those that have been fillowing:

Mum has fully recovered from sepsis, and is feeling better than she has all year. It's been great to see her looking so well again. She has more energy, is able to do more, enjoy family events, drive, visit friends, live again.

So after a family discussion about how much more able she is to enjoy her remaining months, she has decided not to restart chemotherapy. What's the point of enduring a lot of harsh treatment, just to add a few more months to her life, when she can't actually enjoy any of it?

Sorry to hear my friend

It must be such a tough time for you Stu. ❤

I recently came across this article about spontaneous remission of cancer patients. I found this fascinating and I've always believed a fever should be allowed to run its course without modern medical intervention. I've lived by this approach for almost 20 years but I never realised I could be protecting myself from cancer in the process.

If your mother does catch an infection in the next few months, which causes a fever, encourage her to not intervene with modern medical intervention. Let the fever run its course. The results might be life changing. 🙏

Regardless of what happens in the next few months, your mother's choice to not undergo chemo is brave and wise. I would want my last days to be able to spend time and enjoy my last days with my family and friends. My heart goes out to you, your mother, and your family. ❤
