Mum died fifteen years ago today, on 3rd February 2009. It was cancer, first diagnosed in 1975, but defeated for a long while with a mastectomy. It had, however, returned it later life, when Mum was in her late eighties. This time, it was lymphatic cancer. I was never told the precise details, nor about what had to be done at home daily. A nurse would come; and Dad learned to do a lot of it
