What care should my mum be being offered now that she is in the last few weeks or so of her life? She has lung and liver cancer with ascites. She has chose to stay at home but frankly there's a massive lack of support for her to be able to do this. She is currently receiving 2 visits a day from care of the elderly carers (no specialist palliative knowledge) and one weekly visit from our local district nursing team. She has spent most of the last three days sleeping and when she wakes she is confused. She is speaking in a very hoarse and breathless way. She hasn't eaten anything except 2 bowls of porridge in 2 days, we are keeping her going on Fortisip drinks. Nurse saw her yesterday and did nothing - no physical checks or anything.
I'm so frustrated and feel as if she and her family are being let down
