No, we don't know what caused the pain. It only happened on Wednesday though, and not since, so I'm guessing that must be a good sign, like it was just food poisoning or something.
I think my mum's a bit sad today, but I don't know exactly why. She said this evening that she was in a bit of a depressed state of mind. She was talking about the Occupational Health meeting, and she said a part of her hopes they say she can't go back to work because if she's only got a few years left she doesn't want to spend all of it working. And yeah, it will be good because my brother and I are back to uni soon, so it means my mum will be at work rather than stuck at home worrying about everything too much. I said we have to be optimistic because it might be a lot longer than that, and she said that's called denial. But we don't know, because she really does seem fine, and there is that small percentage who make it past 5 years. And 5 years is such a long time with this, who knows what research and treatments they'll have come up with by then.
I think it's just coming back home, it's kind of brought it all back to reality for some reason, and it's a bit sad sometimes if that makes sense.
