Sorry to be so slow catching up on sorrows.

Dani, that scenario is all too common.
Nanny was only taken seriously when she lost the use of her arm completely.
She was immediately taken to hospital, the tumour was discovered after days of tests and she went from there to the hospice and from the hospice back home to die.
The same happened to my Mum's close friend, B. She had a lively chocolate Lab (a foolish gift for such a tiny woman) and her back and shoulder pains were blamed on walking him - to be fair he was pretty much out of control. Nope, it was galloping cancer, diagnosed too late for much help. She lasted longer than Nanny, but that was scant comfort to her family as she was much younger.

I'm so sorry about your Auntie. My love to you and yours.

And to everyone else suffering - esp the guitarist, who seems to be in a world of spiteful hurt for which he is blameless.
