abnormal, I asked what this meant and was told that after she saw the
                 doctor she would most likely need to go to the hospital. I said I would be
                 there the next day with my mother. on the 10/06/2014 we went to the see
                 her GP and they wrote a letter and made a call to the North Middlesex
                 Hospital to say we was coming there right away.
                 We got to A&E and they done more blood test and x-rays by the time this
                 was all done and the test was back it was too late for them to do a CT.
                 they wanted to keep my mother in hospital, but she really did not like
                 hospitals so it was agreed to allow her to come home and for us to be at
                 the hospital at 09:00 on the 11/06/2014 to have the CT done we was told
                 we would be at the hospital all day as they wanted the results of the CT
                 before we left the doctors was still saying it could be her gallbladder but
                 her liver was very enlarged which could be due to the gallbladder.

               22,
                 On the 11/06/2014 we went to the hospital for 09:00 and she had the CT
                 at around 09:30 I saw Dr steel come onto the day unit around 12:00 and
                 went into a room, I knew there was something wrong and I believe so did
                 my mother as she said he had been in there a long time. I said maybe he
                 had come out and we had not seen him to try and stop her worrying. at
                 around 15;45 Dr Steel came out of the room and walked towards us and
                 asked us to come into the room.
                 We were told the news that the breast cancer had metastasis, I asked how
                 many growths and he could not say, he said that the oncologist doctor and
                 nurse was on the way down to see us. The doctor a nurse came to see us I
                 again asked how bad it was had many growths was in the liver the doctor
                 told us that it was severe, and it was in the spine and ribs. That they were
                 trying to book a CT biopsy and bone scan, this would be for the next day
                 or the Monday. I broke down at the news how could this have been
                 missed.
                 My mum was put on a lot of tablets to try and bring the enlarged liver
                 down; she did not want to stay in hospital.
                 When we left the hospital, I went to my sisters to tell her the news she
                 knew by my face it was bad when she opened the door. That day the
                 family was all told.
                 We were all up and down the hospital a great deal from this point, the
                 doctors gave my mother 6 to 12 months without treatment and 18+ with
                 treatment. but there was still a huge problem as they wanted to treat her
                 with chemo, which they had not done in 2011 due to her being on
                 Clozapine both drugs have an effect on the white blood cells. I asked how
                 they could treat with chemo now but could not do this in 2011 they never
                 replied to that. They said they were going try a very low dose of chemo
                 which I would have to give daily for 2 weeks then I would give white
                 blood cell injections the 3rd week when she was not on the chemo tablets
                 and at the start of each session she would have to go to the chemo day
                 unit and have the a drip due to it being HER2.
