Hi there,
This is the first time I have joined a forum about cancer, but I wanted to reach out to people who understand how I feel about my mother. She turned 61 last week, and was diagnosed around 10 weeks ago. We found out that it was unknown primary and there was no treatment available to her as she is just too poorly and the cancer is everywhere :( My father only passed this year in March also from heart dicease. I have to say this is the toughest year of my life so far..
2 weeks ago she was given steroids which gave her a boost which was great. It seems that things are starting to go back down hill and now she is just so sleepy all the time and I really am concerned this is her last 2 weeks if that!
As I have moved back in with her to assist with the day to day things, I would really like to know how I determine how long I have. At what point do you know she will die? What signs do I look for? I really would appreciate honest answers :)
I feel for everyone on here but you should all feel so good for speaking out about your experiences. I have read some of the conversations and you are all so brave!
Thanks for reading.
Tara
