Knockers

Another lady from my supportive secondary breast cancer group is dying. She is in a hospice now, it has been a long process for her, of feeling ill, not being able to eat and having drains put in her nose to relieve the fluid build up from liver ascites.

I wish i could say everything has been done but it hasnt. She went two months with bowel symptoms before she was even given a scan. This makes me very angry and i hold the tory government entirely responsible for slowly removing funds. They have alot of blood on their hands.

I wish i could say that her death is dignified but i dont believe it is.

With the drugs available the law has got to change for those suffering with terminal cancer, it is just simply not humane to allow a slow death to happen if the patient has had enough. I have to say with respect to my friend i would not want my family to witness my slow decline like that.

Someone has to do something. All i can do for her is meditate and try and send her peace and an end to her suffering.
