Sorry your going through this, I lost my mum to lung cancer in July and like yourself I wanted to know what to expect when the end was near as it is something you anticipate, everyone is different but in my experience my mum was unconscious but well aware of our presence, she had a lot of pain but that was controlled by palliative nurses at our request. 3 days she went on like this for, I nursed her by wetting her lips and just being there and when her time was up she was gasping for breath then there was a rattling sound followed by a few more gasps of breath then gone just like that, no more pain and suffering. What your going through now is really tough and no words can describe the pain you feel seeing the person you love suffering in this way, enjoy every last moment you have left with your lovely mum and hope everything goes as well as it can during this terrible time. Sending you all my love and more.
