Hi there, 

It's happening all very quickly with my mum. June 10th my mum was diagnosed after a CT scan with probable pancreatic cancer that had spread to the stomach and oesophagus. My mum then went into hospital to have a stent placed in to manage the bile and get rid of the jaundice. She came home for a week or so with a draining bag and then went back into hospital so the procedure could be completed - and the draining bag can be removed. 

My mum was meant to only stay one night but it's been two weeks since as it turned out she needed to have stents in her kidneys aswell. This week, after thinking we're on the right track to make my mum well enough for treatment, we were basically advised by the doctor that treatment and chemo wouldn't be a great idea as they do not think she is strong enough. We are devastated. The doctor then said my mum has weeks or months to live. This is so shocking as two weeks ago she was moving around the house and just irritated with the draining bag. We have visited my mum but it can only be one at a time and for an hour. 

I asked the nurse if it's possible that my family visit altogether and the nurse said no. This is very traumatic, we want my mum to be all around her family again. I am worried she'll never leave hospital now. Does anyone have any advice on how I can make this happen? Is it right what the nurses say? 

Thank you x
