Hi all, my mum has terminal lung and liver cancer, diagnosed 14 months ago. She hasn't really eaten for nearly 2 weeks and is struggling to drink. The syringe driver was fitted today. Any thoughts on time left.
I am so sorry to hear about your mum's situation. This is such a hard time and we all react differently. You will usually find that the end is not that far away when someone stops eating and drinking. The fact that she was fitted with a syringe driver today might indicate this?
Is your mum at home or in a hospital? If you ask her carers this question outright, they are possibly in the best position to answer this question. I have gone through this with my own mum and know just how awful it is to have to go through this. Thinking of you and your family and, here's hoping that your mum passes peacefully.
Please keep in touch and remember that we are always here for you.
