Not sure whether I'm after advice or just need somewhere to let it all out.
My mum was diagnosed with metastatic secondary breast cancer at the end ofay this year. She had been unwell for a while but wouldn't attend the doctors. She took poorly while out with a family member and ended up in A&E where they saw shadows on her lungs and fluid build up.
After a couple of days of investigation we were given the news she had secondary breast cancer that had spread to her lungs which were really struggling, she had to have 1 lung drained of fluid over 10 days.
It has also spread to her bones, lymph nodes,liver and possible thyroid involvement.
We were given a prognosis of less than a year and told no treatment as she's too unwell. She was given letrozole to try. She came home from hospital and has rapidly deteriorated. 4 weeks ago we were told she only had 2 weeks and to gather family. We did this and she has had a really where she is now back awake and engaging.
Her food intake is minimal as is her fluids, toilet habits are few and far between.
I'm an only child so am doing a lot of the care alongside 4 times a day carers and my eldest son.
We are both struggling a little with the ups and downs, while we understand this is how this goes it just feels so unknown.
Thanks for reading
