Hi all, reaching out to see if anyone has had the same experience. I have been my mums only carer the past 5 years. I have a family of my own and work full time albeit from home (which is a blessing). The treatment stopped in May, no more chemo or Tamoxifen given. Mum has gradually declined and the past week hasn’t had the energy to get out of bed, lots of nausea, pain n sickness. She is taking sickness tablets and she has liquid morphine. Nurses have ordered a bed for downstairs but I am worrying how she will get showered. When they don’t get out of bed and are weak should I encourage her to get out or just leave her? Does it mean she is getting closer to the end? I don’t want to keep bothering the district nurses and they come on Thursdays. Confused and scared of what is to come Cry
