Hi 

I've been scrolling through experiences on this chat and I just can't find any similar situations.

My grandma is like my mum. We are incredibly close she is my grandma, mum and best friend. 
In 2019 we discovered her cancer was back in her lungs as a secondary from breast. On 13th October we got the devastating news the cancer has now spread to her brain resulting in 10 tumours and is now terminal, but couldn't give us a time - was advised if there is anything she wanted to do, to do it now.
 

She had radiotherapy for 5 days to reduce her symptoms. 

I visited her on Tuesday and found her in a very confused state. She was so weak, she's lost the feeling of her feet and her fingertips due to previous radiotherapy. She is very shakey and on that particular Tuesday extremely weak and confused, her vision is very very fuzzy and her eyes are extremely painful. She was admitted to the cancer ward where she has been since. She still has periods of confusion, today when I visited was particularly tough as she got confused about a charger and how to plug it in. She became very distressed and child like, she got very upset and this was the first time I have ever seen her cry.  She was crying like a child. I was consoling her like she was a child which was so hard considering she has always been the strong one. 
we are waiting for an OT to come and asess her as she wants to go home - she is living in a sheltered accommodation where she has a pendant with support around the clock. I'm so worried about her being at home even with a supoort plan in place incase she has a period of being confused like she has been and gets upset and frustrated. 
 

I guess what I am looking for is similar stories and how things have progressed. I feel she has deteriorated so much in the last few weeks and so quickly I feel that she won't be with us for much longer, which in a way I am pleased about because I don't want it to drag out and her being in any more pain than she has to be. 
 

I just want this OT assessment to hurry up so we can put a plan in place - the days are going so quickly but also feel like time is dragging. 
 

Thank you in advance ️
