Hi all, 

My mom was diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma brain tumour at the start of 2022, the doctors only gave her 8 months so we are so proud she's still with us. Throughout her illness she's never been well enough to leave the house or make any memories however she's detetorated really quickly the past month. On Christmas Eve she was just sleeping all day which is fairly normal for her however we really struggled to wake her. On Christmas Day she started to breath weirdly (the death rattle) and Boxing Day had the syringe driver put in. We are really struggling as a family we never thought she would make it to new year but she has had some days awake and talking which shocked us due to how bad she was before the driver. She's been really bad again today waking up for a few minutes but just mumbling random things. I know everyone is different but it would be so helpful if the nurses or doctors could try and give us some sort of time frame! 
 

sorry for rambling but this is a great platform to get everything off your chest.
