Do things happen suddenly ?

Hello 

Wonder if anyone can help 

Mum has stage four cancer, bone Mets, had hypercalcemia, eating very very little. Still drinking .  Not mobile. Bed to chair, chair to bed...loads of sleep 

Have read a few things about transitioning but what happens before then and does it happen very suddenly?. Am heartbroken but trying to steel myself.  

Thank you 

  • I'm really sorry about your mum Biscuit1.

    I can't begin to imagine what you're going through right now, but we are thinking of you Biscuit1 and sending all our support to you at this very difficult time.

    I hope this information we have about dying with cancer and what to expect in the final weeks and days will be useful, but if it would help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They will do all they can to support you and answer any other questions you may have at this time.

    Best wishes to you both,
