Hi Nicky - so sorry to hear about your MIL. Thinking of you and your family. Good idea about the breast cancer website Raels - I will go and do that now.

Thanks everyone.
I will give you a quick run down.. It may explain why we are sooooo dis-heartened.

13 years ago, MIL was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a mastectomy and went through chemo, and came out of it all ok.
Then a few weeks after my miscarriage last year, she was diagnosed with breast cancer again... in the same side that she had the mastectomy. It was in the remaining tissue.
Anyway, shes undergone chemo and radiotherapies, and shes been SOOOO unbeleivably positive the whole time. She holds her family together. Everything was looking so so good. The cancer shrank, her BT;'s were soming back clear as were her bone scans.... until today.
It was shown in a bone scan that it has come back into one of her vertabrae. The one vertabrae is 2/3 taken by cancer. Apparently this is an aggressive form.

This is just such a blow. I love my MIL. Shes like a best friend to me. We are one and the same. We have the same personality and everything. I love her to peices and just feel so blessed to know her.

I am soooo glad that we have Lach now. I know that we can ALL take comfort in him, and draw strength from his presence. MIL is so worried that she wont see him grow up. That she wont see her daughters marry. That she wont meet anymore of her grandchildren as Lach is her first.

I am trying to be the pillar of strength for them all. I know how crusehed they are. I dont know what I would do without her, so I have NO IDEA how her own husband and children feel.
So, thats a short run down. Hence why we are MEGA devastated. It's the worst news ever.
I think that we will be TTC very soon. I really want her to know all of my children, and I want my children to have been in her presence. She is just the lovliest person ever......So sorry. I am in tears.
So, if I'm not already preggers... wish me luck
thanks everyone
