All gathered around her bed again....
She’s kept us on tenterhooks since 7 this evening... clearly still not ready to go.

Dark humour and hysteria setting in here, it’s like bracing for a car crash that never comes... yet you know it’s inevitably coming.

Horrible situation dude.

Thoughts and prayers are with you Lee. Not an experience you'd wish on anybody.

I read your posts everyday and wince in pain for you and your family. Like many on here, I’m sure we would like to offer more words of comfort, support and love. But, words fail me and I assume many on here.

I can only hope you keep strong and direct your love towards your children. That will give ultimately, give you the strength that you will need over the months ahead.

Sending you a big man hug!

What a painful night, Alex continues to fight.

We sat up with her right the way through the night. We thought she was leaving us at 1am, 3am and 4am, each time rallying back from the very edge.

It is truly heartbreaking to watch and be so very powerless to act.

What makes it worse, we wouldn’t put a dog or cat through what Alex is suffering with. They cannot give anything other than pain relief, which is dreadful as there truly is no recovery yet we have to wait for her heart to fail 😢 Her heart is only 40 and so very strong hence it doesn’t want to give up just yet.

The ability of any creature to cling to the last vestige of life is incredible.  You are so right with your comments upon cats and dogs, but now is not the time.  Be grateful these hours are without pain or perhaps consciousness.

 

You are far from alone.

Heartbreaking read, thoughts are with you all at such a horrible time

[ChrisS1]

Such an awful thing to be going through, especially for someone so young.

I hope everything is as pain free as possible as you're all suffering enough as it is. You must all be emotionally and physically exhausted.

You're doing a great job Lee

It is with deepest sadness that I have to share that OUR Alex passed at 12:20 today. She fought so very valiantly against her brain tumour.
Diagnosed in Feb 2014, Alex underwent several brain operations, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Never giving up, never asking why her.
At the time of diagnosis, Alex set herself several objectives, all of which she achieved.
Alex finished her OU degree with honours.
Alex saw our children go to school, they completed the first 3yrs under her guidance.
Alex saw and celebrated her 40th birthday.
Alex taught us so many things, to laugh, to fight, to love.
We will miss her, but know we are better for having her in our lives.

So sorry.

 

If there is anything I or we can do, please let us know

Tragic and so sad. No one knows how you and the girls must be feeling as everyone's situations and reactions to such loss are different. But we're all thinking about you and had hoped for a different outcome. Much love.

Really sorry to hear this Lee, our thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.

[fiveoclock]

Condolences to you all, she'll always be with you though mate, looking over you all.

[PaulCP]

So sad to hear this Lee but she’s at peace know, away from the pain and suffering of the past years.

You must be very proud at the fight she put up. Her memory should be an inspiration to us all

Look after yourself and the girls, you have the support of a large community so make sure you continue to use it
