My mum has advanced ovarian cancer. She's been having carboplatin, but on Tuesday she was given paclitaxel. I went to visit her yesterday (Saturday) and while I was there she collapsed. She didn't justfaint. It was really odd. She collapsed with her eyes wide open, and wasn't breathing. I started to move her to a better position snd she made a weird gurgling noise and was back again, sort of.I say sort of because she was very vacant. I phoned her cancer unit who advised to call an ambulance immediately, which I did, and she was taken into hospital. They kept her in. I spoke to her tonight and she sounds so sick. She says she has terrible stomach pain, and is very tired. She said she wishes she could just go to sleep and not wake up. I feel so damned useless because there's nothing I can do to take this away from her. I'm so worried about her going home. If this had happened with no one there, I have no doubt she'd have died. She lives alone and won't let me give up work to look after her. I'm going to try and speak to her gynae nurse tomorrow, to see what can be done, but I'm so worried she will fall at home.
