Hi, I had to respond to your post. We thought my mum had 6 months after being diagnosed with the same tumour as your mum. Unfortunately she too had clots in her lungs. We were so worried about dealing with the months of caring for her, if only we knew that we only had a week. She died suddenly from the clots in her lungs, we were shocked but she didn't suffer the months we thought she had. 

I don't want to upset you but please make the most of each day, life can change in the blink of an eye. Find time to make memories and talk. I take great comfort in knowing that the short time we had with mum being poorly was in a weird way the best of times. We still laughed, cried and lived. I asked medical professionals constantly what would happen near the end but the tumour was over taken by the clots. If only we knew we wouldn't have stressed so much about how it would happen.

Sending you a heartfelt hug, take things a day at a time and be kind to yourself. xx

i hope she gets treated as a guest of honour as she deserves it nothing more nothing less.

Hello. 

My dad was diagnosed 25/11, and was due to start palliative chemo 2/1 but unfortunately got admitted to hospital 30/12 and had a seizure. He’s remained there on end of life care, and having his steroids, morphine, and medazalam via a syringe driver as he’s unable to swallow. Initially he was very agitated and restless but now He’s very sleepy and slipping in and out of consciousness. I don’t think he’s in any pain. We aren’t sure if he knows if we are there or not, but doesn’t respond to seeing us, or one of our dogs who we took to visit. He deteriorated so quickly. It’s such a horribly awful diesease. Xx
