Hello. I have some questions about end stage cancer and the emotional impact of cancer
Mum has extensive bone Mets, has twice had hypercalcemia and isn't eating much and finds it difficult to get up each day after sleeping for hours and is constantly exhausted.
I know this is an odd question but do cancer patients always lose weight near the end of life ? If everyone always very thin when they die? And how long does that weight loss take ? Is it quick and drastic or is it very slow ?
Also I feel.everyone around me is in denial about what's going on and trying to push her to do things she doesn't want to do, like trips to.the seaside and days out !! I feel like she's in the final months and should be able to do.what she wants !! She's got no energy and eats so little each day. But still takes water and oral chemo
It's so hard to try and cope with this denial aspect as I feel she's being pushed. I get that everyone wants her to get better and i would give anything for her to get better, but she's sleeping more and barely eating ....
Thank you for any advice
