Stage 4 lung and liver cancer

Mum was diagnosed officially in April and was given 2 weeks approximately, mum has been amazing but this week everything has changed, mum on saturday slept all day and night, woke up yesterday, was slightly confused and a wee bit shaky and today has not woken up again, the district nurses say try and give her medication orally, but do we wake her up to give medication, do we leave her sleeping, is this going to be her end, but they say she is strong, we dont know what's happening

  • I'm sorry that your mum's health has started to change. 

    I hope the district nurses were able to give you further help and advice on this and continue to do so but our cancer nurses are just a phone call away if you'd like to have a quick chat with them about your mum as well. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    I hope you hear from some of our members who have been in similar situations soon and wish you and your family all the best at this difficult time.

    Kind regards,
