My mother in law has diagnosed an unoperational, large brain tomour on her left side of the brain. Because of its location and the age of her the surgeon did not recommend any treatment except giving her steroid to ease her life, in other words it has left its own courses. We are living about 600 miles away from where she lives. She wanted to return to her home from the hospital. She lives alone. She has a care plan: carers come 4 times a day. Her mobility is limited, only possible with walking aid and limited walking in the house. A district nurse visits her once a week to make sure her health is ok.
We would like to spend her last days with her. As everybody else we are working. The distance and our employment limit our visit to her and spend time with her.
It is really important for us to know how to know/identify end of the life symptoms. Would you please share with me your experience. We would like to spend with her at least a week before she leaves us. I know how difficult to guess this. But if you are able to help us we are very much appreciated this.
Thanking in advice.. Sam
