Hello, my mother in law mother has cancer, I do not know the type or stage as my wife doesnt want to know. All i know is that is a very rare type, located on/adjacent to her heart and also on the lining of her lung. We dont know how long she has, it may be 10 months or 10 years, but my wife is living like it is the shorter end and has disregarded everything else other than our children, to which she is still a fantastic mother (we have a 2 and 5 year old). Because we don't have an expected/ approximate timescale, i am finding it very difficut to know how to act. If it was 10 months then nothing else matters over that period other than getting by and doing everything we can in the time we have left. But if it was 10 years, we cannot carry on like this and a decade pass at this intense pressure within the house. I dont know what to do or how can i approach this with her, as i dont want to her insensitive and am immidiately shut down if trying to speak about the subject. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you
