I don't really know what to say. I have spent the last 4 weeks googling this topic looking for answers and tonight my mum finally left us. She was diagnosed in February and died tonight. She had chemo and radiotherapy and did so well but left tonight. I am writing tonight because this forum helped me every step of the way since terminal came into play. Sorry for any typos - I can't quite get my head into play. Thank you everyone for sharing everything. It's felt hopeless and inspiring and tonight devastating but thank you. If it helps anyone...she fell a couple of times at home and then was taken into hospital. When wewenttocheck it was obvious she'd been suffering more than she told us. She spent 2 weeks in hospital miserable and we finally got her into a nursing home through the wonderful fast track. 2 weeks later she left us. This morning she apparently had porridge! It was incredibly quick and to my horror I wasn't there. I spent the last 2 weeks there every day and today was late. But my sister was there. The oncologist told us weeks...and it was 1 day off for weeks. Jesus it's hard at Christmas. Look after yourselves and thank you for keeping me sane these last few weeks. Happy to answer any questions-it's what helped me xx
