Hi All, I've never really posted on anything before but I wanted to ask if anyone out there would be able to give any advice on how to cope with looking after your parent while they are end of life with Cancer. My mum has secondary breast cancer, she's not that old only 72 but has been house bound since last year as well and has back problems all over and has been disabled most of her life since she was a child. She went into the hospice a few weeks ago for symptom control and they managed to get her on the right meds and we got her home and all was good, we didn't expect what happened next. Within a couple of day's of her being home she'd gone off all her food and drink and was sleeping all the time, at first the palliative team thought it might be just all her new meds kicking in and they just need to tweak them slightly but alter another day or so they told me , Wayne she only has a couple of days / short week left ...this was hardest thing I've ever been told in my life , I was heart broken..I've been living with my mum caring for her for the past 4 or so years after I split from my wife and my dad also passed away from cancer..it's been me and her against the world and now I'm being told she's just got day's. Well nearly 2 weeks on...and she's still here fighting , she sleeps most of the time but she does open her eyes a lot in the day but doesn't talk. I'm worried that she is upset/angry with me, should I be doing more, am I doing the right thing, I try to make her as comfortable as possible..but I have never struggled to talk to her but now I don't know what to say...I feel so guilty , I feel like I should be doing more for her, has anyone else experienced something like this..what should you do / am I doing the right thing? Sorry for this long essay but just felt like I needed to get this of my chest and ask other people, not very good at asking for advice never have been but feel this time I need too. Thankyou all for reading , all the best Wayne
