My mum was diagnosed with small cell just before christmas last year. She had chemo for a few weeks which put it to sleep. And then she had some radiation on her head to keep cancer from effecting her brain, which had in turn woken up her cancer again. She was offered chemo but was given a 20% chance of it putting it back to sleep, but the risk of her being even more ill or even her remaining days even shorter. So she has been living with me now, she is sleeping constantly, and looses touch with reality. She says she is cold and is under a quilt almost all the time, and is in pain what feels like constantly. She's asking to go back home but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I've been trying to get her to be more active but it's not working. And now it's starting to become difficult to wake her for her medications. I'm at a loss of what to do. There's no one else in the family to help. No support as I am the family support. I'm alone.
