My dad died of bowel cancer five years ago. He was a Shepard and worked collies. My mum had breast cancer 20 years ago and it returned in 2018 as rogue breast cancer in her bones. She was misdiagnosed for months and eventually spent weeks in hospital with me helping her to eat. She is now at home and I am helping to care for her. She is getting better slowly but will have cancer for the rest of her life. I know that at some point in the future it will get worse again.
