      😮52 brain cancer.
      My late mom had a brain but, it was not cancerous & it was successfully removed in Cape Town. She was unaware of it. It was the car accident which broke her left arm and that should had provoked the tumor making her confused right after the accident, & that lead the doctor to do MRI scan. Becus as they were treating the wound on the arm, they noticed she was confused & didn't understand why and so did MRI scan only to discover the tumor was the reason of her confusion right after the accident. For 5 years, she lived in constant physical pain from her arm, sometimes it was better, sometimes it was worse, according to herself, she had metals in her arm and another piece of bone put in by the doctor but, it was not healing fast, first due to her age, secondly due to the fact that her bones were naturally sort of fragile. She was also on High blood pressure medication for 15 years. Sometimes, she would just say : oh God, I am very tired, this pain is too much." She was taking painkillers everyday, even more than recommended. She was in and out of the hospital just for the nurses & doctors to put paracetamol in her drip and so she could rest in hospital for a few days and go home. However, the last time she went in hospital, she ended up in icu and passed away after a few hours. I never saw her alive again. I was only taken in this room with the casket and she was in the casket and this lady one of friends asked me if I was ready to see her, she held my arm and she walked me in and told me to tell my late mom whatever I wanted to tell her, she said she could hear me, so I talked & said what I had to say to my late mom and left. Later that day, I cried a lot
      😳BE THANKFUL OF YOUR MOTHER WHILE SHE IS STILL ALIVE😳
