My mum is 78 and going through single cell lung cancer, I've been doing EVERYTHING for her, is this too much? Do i force her to do things for herself? Tonight, she laid beside her bedside, shouted me up to get her pills from her bedside, and didn't get them herself! Is she milking me? Shes going through chemo, but I fear she's loosing independence. HELP!!
