Hi Bec468,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. Firstly I'm so sorry to hear what your mum is going through - I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you.

It's really hard to advise on the answer to your question and unfortunately no-one on the forum will really be able to give an answer. The best thing would be to discuss with your mum's specialist when you can - they will be best placed to advise specifically to her, but even then it may not be a concrete answer.

I'm sorry to not be of more help, but I do hope this forum can provide some support to you.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben

Hello I can't offer any personal advice , but if you have an Instagram account pancreaticcanuk is very good or www.pancreatic cancer.org.uk may be able to help you .. I hope your mum is at least comfortable. Very tough for you . Hugs x x x

I just lost my Mum 3 days ago to abdominal sarcoma cancer, it was incurable and she went from first symptom to death in 9 weeks. Two days later my Dad died of infection and low blood counts (maybe blood cancer related). Everyone's journey will be different but I can suggest you attempt to persuade your Mum to accept care. We had carers 4 times a day all free from NHS and without them we would have cracked I think. The love for Mum was immense and I did things I never thought I'd have to do but to do it full time is rather grim and exhausting. Thinking of you x x
