My mum was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer with 12 months or less to live in October 2023. She has gone done hill rapidly since her diagnosis.
She has a massive hernia on her stomach which is weeping, bleeding and painful. She is very confused, sleeps a lot, isn't eating, isn't taking her medication, isn't looking after her self and has no quality of life.
She lives on her own and has no one nearby who can help her. My closest siblings live an hour away and I live 3 hours away and I'm currently pregnant. As I get bigger in my pregnancy it will make it more difficult for me to travel to see her and help her.
When we try to offer help or suggest support she falls out with us. It's at the point where she clearly needs a career and we don't know how to get one for her or who to contact.
I am happy for my mum to come and stay with me so I can take care of her but she won't come with me as she doesn't want to be a burden, which she wouldn't be to me.
I don't know how to help her and I want to make sure she is comfortable and has some quality of life.
