My mum got diagnosed  with cancer in breast, lungs, liver and back not long ago. Plan is no treatment but just to manage pain but they haven't started yet.She's still in Hospital at the mo as she can't walk and waiting on a Physio assessment to set her up at home or in care. They asked if I can look after her but I am 28 working full time and its only me here. The rest of the fam lives in Germany, where she wants to be but she's too weak to travel. 

My concern is that she isn't eating and drinking much and has lost a lot of weight. She's struggling to drink water snd the nurses are refusing to put her on drip as they said she should try her best to drink on her own but even meals she's skipping and overall getting weaker but yet there's no urgency of care. i try to motivate her to eat but she's saying she can't do it. 
 

Is this normal? Struggling to my head strong and help her
