adeno to brain mets

My nanna was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in May 2016. She had one chemo session and then on 18th August she had a fall and was unresponsive until scan showed brain mets. I went with her coz we was so close when I was growing up. I saw her every day as she lives close by.  Since the fall she can't walk or talk and just lays there lifeless. She is immobile and has a catheter and I clean her up when she has motion. It's breaking my heart. When she was in hospital we was told 2 to 3 days so we rushed her home that night in a bed in the lounge. Well drs are shocked as last week they said she shouldn't be here and its been 8 weeks. she eats regularly and is awake for most the day. I just want some advice and may be a clue as to when it will be over as it kills me seeing her like this. Im 28 single parent and its made me very down. my nanna isn't the same and mumbled when I talk but becoming very angry and aggressive when we put her back in her bed from her wheelchair. I miss her and love her so much. 

  • Welcome to the forum nannapat.

    I'm really sorry to hear that your nanna has been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma and that the fall she had in august has had such a life changing effect on her life. I can't imagine how tough it must be for you right now but I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

    Many members on the forum will understand how you are feeling and what you are going through right now having been in similar situations with their loved ones and I'm sure they will be along soon to offer you their support and advice. 

    Stay strong nannapat and even though your nanna may not be able to talk I'm sure she appreciates everything you are doing for her and if she could, would tell you that she loves you so much as well.

    Kind Regards,
