Help needed

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me my mum was diagnosed with brain tumour in March stage 4 nothing can be done. It's so hard watching her struggle with walking now her breathing has changed  and not wanting to eat. Anything But she has no pain    Can any one tell me what to expect next.  Should I keep waking her to get up or leave her sleeping   She's also talking a lot but making no sense.  I'm hoping to keep mum at home till the end but so scared I'm doing the right thing for her I'd like some guidance please. X

  • Thankyou so much for your reply I'm so sorry about your daughter it's a terrible thing to go through. 
    I lost my dad to cancer in Feb but he was in the hospice  did you have your daughter at home 

    how are you coping. I really do feel for you. Xx

  • Hi

    thank you for replying. Sorry to hear about your Dad. You are on a very difficult road with your mum, but I don’t need to tell you that do I.

    My daughter lived approx 190 miles away from me, so I used to do the round trip once a week and sometimes I stayed over. In the last few weeks she would cry out God help me and her husband didn’t know what to do, nor did I, but I wondered if she was in pain, so we gave her pain relief and she used to settle down to sleep, you never know if you are doing the right thing or not.

    stay strong and be kind to yourself. 

  • That must of been terrible. I can't imagine what that was like 

     

    mum today has gone rapidly down hill not eating anything and now no drink. She just says good night and off to sleep. She also feels clammy  do you think the end is coming x

  • Hi Julie.G

    I can only say that my daughter went approx three and half days without any food or drink before she died. 

    Do you have any support or carers coming in to help you, if so they should be able to advise you.

    stay strong x
