Hello. Could anyone give me some advice please 

Mum had advanced cancer and is barely eating, sleeping lots etc.  she's gone into hospice and her blood pressure and oxygen levels have been dropping off and on for the last week.

Has anyone had any experience of this please ? Is it because she's lying down all the time or does it mean more than that ? 

Thank you 

  • I'm really sorry to hear your mum is now in a hospice Biscuit1 and that her symptoms are getting worse. This must be incredibly difficult.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their experiences and insight with you soon but if you haven't done so already, make sure you ask your mum's hospice team about this as they'll be in the best position to advise and answer any other questions.

    You can always talk to our team of cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. about any of this as well.

    We're sending you all our strength and support Biscuit1 and I hope knowing that we are here for you can offer some comfort at this very challenging time.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
