Hi all we are currently looking after my mum who is now end of life, she’s no longer swallowing, sleeping lots, lost her speach not now drinking, she’s looks so poorly, skin skin has gone waxy looking, at this point how long are we looking at please 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I'm really sorry to read how poorly your mum is.

    The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who have a loved one who is now end of life.

    To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    You might also find this information from Macmillan helpful and you can always speak to someone on the Support Line by calling 0808 808 0000 between 8am and 8pm.

    Sending ((hugs))
