Hi there and thank you for posting on here

I am very sorry to hear about your mum, it sounds like this is a difficult time for all the family.

The just in case bag will contain a range of medications that may be needed if and when your mum deteriorates or her symptoms worsen. This bag may not be needed but if it is the doctors and nurses involved in your mum's care can give them to her without needing to wait to get them from a pharmacy.

It is important your mum's condition is assessed at regular intervals by the community team involved in your mum's care to make sure she is kept as comfortable as possible.

I hope this is helpful.

Please get back to us if you have further questions or if you prefer to talk over the phone our number is 0808 800 4040. We're here weekdays 9-5.

Thank you, you have made it clearer. 
I feel totally mixed up. When my mum was in hospital with high calcium, which has come down, the Drs mentioned weeks to month for her end of life. Today I have spoken to a palliative care nurse who appeared shocked with this & believes my mum is too bright & with it for this and a longer time has been mentioned. Which is amazing and my mum is very strong and determined lady. However I feel on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. I am currently on the sick from work, I am a teacher, however I don’t want to use all my sick leave now if mum will need me in 4/5 months time. I know we can’t predict when but there is so much to think about and it’s so hard & emotional. 

Hello, Am following as my mum was in hospital with hypercalcemia too recently and the docs have put her chemo "on hold" (secondary breast cancer with bone mets) but the hospital is beyond uncommmunicative and we can't get an answer why until she meets her oncologist next week!!  It's so anxiety inducing
