Been told my mum is in the End stages. I'm devastated

Hello all, never thought I would be part of this community posting about my mum diagnosis, she was diagnosed in 2020 with colorectal cancer stage IV that has spread to other body parts limph node and liver and has been on treatment for roughly 14months the consultants are now saying that the chemo treatments isn't effective no more as the cancer is aggressive and her liver will soon fail, my mum had also developed a blood clot in the liver she was on injection and had to be taken off as the injection was causing her excessive bleed from her back passage. She also has developed jaundice in her eyes Doctors have given her few days to weeks to live, this is just devastating to see her in this state my mum is only 52 years of age and unfortunately cancer it's slowing her body down. She is a fighter and still believes that she will fight It through. How can you look at such a precious soul and tell her she will soon be no more??. We r keeping to what she believes and taking each day as it comes. Me and my sisters have decided to care for her ourselves in the comfort of her own home. It just devastating that her situation isn't reversible.

  • I am so sorry about your Mum.  I nursed my Mum when she was dying of cancer, so I truly do know how you feel, and yes, it is absolutely devastating.........there is nothing that anyone can say or do that can make you feel better.  I have said it so many times before, but I will say it again, the loss of our Mother is one of the hardest things we will ever go through.  Remember to tell your Mum how much you Love her, because one of my deepest regrets is that I never told my dying Mum that I loved her, and it can not be said once they are gone.  Once again, I am so sorry for what you, your Mum and the rest of your family are going through, Violet, x
