Less than one minute read time.

well mums been really sick again this morning ,me and my sister cleaned her up and tried to make her comfortable,its well over a week now since she ate anything just having an odd sip of milk here and there ,doctors given her tablets to try and stop the nausea but theyr not working ,nurse has been and sat with her today they are bringing her a bed in the next few days .i keep trying to convince myself that she will get back to normal but seeing her so weak and losing weight by the day i think its just wishful thinking..on my part.i love my mum so much and it breaks my heart to see her like this,i now know what the rest of you who are going through this or who have already been through it feel like ,   :(((  xx

    I can't answer the question of whether your mum is going to recover but it looks like you have good support if you have a bed coming so have links for help. Tablets for nausea when she can't keep anything down? Does not make a lot of sense to me, would it be possible to ask your Mac nurse or District Nurse about either IM injection or syringe driver? That way she may actually get the benefit from her medication. Keep persevering offering drinks, if she can actually get the anti sickness on board it may help.

    Nothing anyone can say will make this any easier for you, it is heartbreakingly awful seeing those we love suffering. Take all the help you can so you can balance your duties of daughter and carer and tell her love her.

    Sending much love and (((((((((((((huge hugs))))))))))))

    Val. Im always here for you, hope is often all we have to cling on to, so never stop hoping. xx Your hopes may change, mines went from hoping mum could be cured, to hoping that she would have a long time before failing, to hoping that day would be a painfree day, then hoping that she would go quickly and without suffering. I know from our pms that you have been going through these stages too, and all I can say is that you are going through the same range of emotions that I did, and my heart goes out to you. But every day with your mum is a day to treasure, even the small moments come to mean so much, so store them in your heart and hold them close always.

    Thinking of you, with love, Sharonxx
