My Mum (80)has terminal liver cancer and has been moved into a care home as it was becoming too difficult to care for her at home. Her symptoms have changed quite dramatically from mostly breathing difficulties to hallucinations and delusions. Her main one is that I'm her enemy. We had a bad relationship for a few years in my teens but I've done all I can to improve it over the last 20 odd years. But it seems like she's regressed back to then. She is constantly escaping from the ward she's on( which isn't a locked ward) and the only reason she hadn't managed to make it outside is because the main doors have been locked, as it's been the weekend/ evenings. I've herniated a disc in my back so I'm out of action at the moment and can only help the care staff on the phone. I was hoping her being in the care home would be the safest option but I'm so worried about her wondering off ( sometimes she wants to go home, other times she thinks she has to go to the airport/ hospital/school). Has anyone else experienced this with someone with terminal ( liver) cancer?
