Hi
I’m new here but really need some advice. My lovely mum was in remission from breast cancer for 2 years but now it has returned she was dignoised in March having mets in her spine, liver and also a plural effusion which she had to have drained numerous times. She was too poorly for any treatment so just receiving palliative care. She also had a drain fitted to drain her lung as was refilling very quickly although this has now stopped. So here we are ten weeks later and she’s now bedbound, can’t sit up without help, isn’t eating just sips of soup or porridge really, still drinking water. She’s on oxygen and very breathless all the time, lost a lot of weight. She has a lot of pain relief so very confused at times and sleepy on and off now. My question is, is this the last few weeks of life? It’s so very hard watching my poor Mum suffer and live in this way and I feel so guilty for her. Thank you x
