Mums dying

Hi 

my mum has been diagnosed with mestatic lung cancer she is 84 diabetic and has heart issues and lymphodema, she developed a chest infection went into hospital to be told she had Covid 19, she was okay and symptoms were not too bad but they done a chest X-ray and found lung cancer which had spread to her lymph nodes, they cannot do anything and prognosis is months. Just lately she has got really nasty and aggressive with everybody is this normal behaviour. How will I know when the time is near.

  • Hi there ...

    So sorry your going through this heartbraking time at the moment.... it's never easy loosing those we love .. if I were you I'd call Marie Currie... they specialise in people with terminal diagnosis and their families... they will have lots more info for you .. go on their web page for phone number ...

    There could be a lot of reasons why your mum is getting angry ... she could be scared and know she's not got long ... and with all she's been through its understandable ...

    But know it's not her , it's the cancer ... it could be moving into her brain, which effects people's carictor too ... maybe ... but Marie Currie can give help to you too  .. ask about hospice care as they are really lovely places too ... but reach out and get all the help offered ... try McMillan too ... you need someone to talk to ... so take care ...
