Having a hard time dealing and accepting that my mom has a cancer that is terminal although she is going through chemo which does nothing more then prolong her pain and suffering but my stepfather wants the chemo so my mom does it. Other family members seem to have accepted my mom's fate but I can't seem to come to terms with it and anyway shape or form. I have a mental illness and have cut myself off from all emotions except those around my partner who is a recent prostate cancer survivor. I am now having to take care of my mom 3 days every other week due to the fact that my sister in law has to have back surgery and I can barely function after the 3 days of doing it. To see my mom in so much pain makes me wonder why the chemo is going on at all. She no longer gets out of bed or comes out of her room. She spends 90% of her time sleeping. What kind of prolonged life is that to be having?
