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.
Hi I'm sorry to hear about your mum. It's such a difficult time for you all. My dad passed away from cancer 2 years ago and stayed at home also as was his wish. He passed away 4 days after he was given the pump. We had been told he may live for a week or two but it might only be days, which it was.
im sure it's a different experience for everyone but my dad was peaceful for the last few days. We were with him the whole time and thr nurses that helped us were fantastic. On the last day, his breathing changed dramatically, ( he had prostate cancer that spread to lung, liver and brain). His lungs filled with fluid so we knew he had very little time left. I hope you are ok, it's so difficult
