So my mum was diagnosed with oesophagus terminal cancer back in March 2023. She was told she had months to a year max to live. Because the extent of her cancer it wasn't just in the oesophagus it traveled to her neck and lymph nodes. So surgery was not an option back then. To help keep it at bay she had a mixture of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. After so many treatments over this year she had go eventually stop the chemotherapy as her body couldn’t take it. Got scans and basically got told a month ago its now travelled the lymph nodes to her outer stomach and possible more trails to her oesophagus. (She also has a stent in too) as she was not able to eat anything a year sgo. But the stent might become an issue if it’s growing more.
so a month ago she got told she has around 3 months tops to live. And no other treatment will help. As the next stage will the cancer probably spread to her organs such as lungs and kidneys. As my mum is dealing with this in her own way she has refused to get any further scans or treatments. We are already a month down and time is going too fast. My mum has been feeling very tired most days with no energy and now getting some headaches.
i don't know if these are signs of her dying and are what the doctors said is true? I am getting really scared and worried she is just going to die any day now and I don’t know what major symptoms or signs to look out for. I am also trying to prepare mentally for whats going to happen as i have been going through this for a whole year and it scares me now that she is actually dying any day/week now.. just any advice or similar stories from other people would be much appreciated
