im so sorry, my heart goes out to you, it's very hard finding yourself in the position of caring for a person in the final stages of cancer.
if you google "preparing for approaching death" it will tell you all the signs you need to be aware of.
god bless.
She's is basically be a shell of her former self .
Be there spend anytime you can , don't even have to talk just be there , she will be very sick .. it all depends on the cancer either way the out come is the same i am so sorry to hear this
I'm sorry to hear about that, this certainly would be a scary time. I really encourage you to speak to her doctor about this; every cancer is different and so is every patient. Taking care of someone in end stages is very difficult and time consuming. Often the person will not be able to do anything on their own [including dressing themselves or getting up to go to the restroom] so you will probably need help from a hospice service. Its hard to know how long someone will be incapacitated. From my personal experience, my grandfather took several months of slow progression but my best friend's aunt was okay one week and at the end 5 days later.
You mother's doctor can help you understand the process and make deciscions about when to get home care and they can recommend a therapist to help you both through this difficult time. Both of them have had experience with this and can guide you through it.
All right I am here whats your second wish?
BTW Dont worry she will live
