Hi all, new here.
Looking after my 86 year mother with stomach cancer.
Its now getting to the point that she is saying she cant go on...
In pain most nights,
Current issue is she cant go and do number 2.
Docs have given her medication, but its not helping.. Been comkplaining about this for 3 months now. I have another appointment at docs this morning. I dont expect that to make any difference either, apart from the pain it will cause her to get to the car and then out to the docs.
Nothing seems to take the edge off the pain. he is less sick now with new nausea tablets, so thats a bit better.
I wonder how much of the pain is from not going the loo v from the cancer itself..
Suggestions, ideas welcome.
Thanks for listening.
