Hi

My Mum was told a week ago her lung cancer has spread, and now terminally ill. It was so shocking to hear, as we were given hope at the beginning of her diagnosis. Mum was offered radiotherapy for one month, which was really gruelling for her. Her treatment finished at the beginning of November 2024. We all remained positive. 
I think after Christmas our family noticed a significant change, for example her lack of appetite, weight loss and tiredness. New changes too, for example, Mum’s disinterest in her garden which she loved. 
I now feel completely at sea!! Mum’s health is deteriorating, but, she’s still fighting. Mum lives alone, but, as a family we are all caring and supporting to look after her, and trying to carry on as normally as possible. 
My eldest sister and I have been told that Mum doesn’t have a great deal of time left with us, Mum doesn’t know. 
I’m really scared, and worried about what we will all have to face over time. I guess I’m posting this, hoping for some kindness, and reassurance. I know it’s going to get difficult. Thanks for reading this.
