Mum took a turn for the worse over the weekend, she can't even drink unassisted. Yesterday she was very agitated and broken blood spots started appearing all over her body. Blood test were taken and it was found her blood count is dangerously low because the cancer has attacked her bones the bone marrow is not making blood any more.
The Dr has advised us not to take her home as she is at risk of heamoraging which could be very distressing for my mum. The hospice is equiped to give her medication to stop the distress. We had to tell dad she wont be home he broke down in tears. This is a very harrowing time, I am hoping mum just sleeps away very soon so she can finally be at peace.
