Stage 4 bowel cancer

Hi all, 

My mum has stage 4 bowel cancer which has spread to her liver and cause asceties. She has been admitted to hospital because she became extremely weak and dehydtrated very quicky also the asceties may have caused an infection. I know she is showing signs of being in the final stages but I am struggling to make plans as I have no idea what to expect really. This is all happened so quickly as she was only first diagnonsed 10 weeks ago. I was wondering whether anyone had been through anything similar and could offer some advice maybe. Thank you. 

  • Hi there ...

    So so sorry your going through this heartbraking time at the moment... it's one of the hardest things we do in life ... if you go on Marie Currie site... they are there for terminal illness and their families... any questions they will help you with ... 

    Life teaches us many things .. but sadly no one prepares us for the last journey ... hopefully others may pop by that have more thoughts then me .. but I'm sending out positive vibes ... all I do know is there is no set way for everyone .. some fight a lot longer then thought .. others seem to go quickly ... but hopefully Marie Currie will have the answers that will help ...
