I met with an old friend today during a window in caring for my mom. She told me something that shocked and worried me a bit. She said that few days before her mom died she “expelled” or haemorrhaged some horrible smelling matter from her bowels. She said it was all over the bed and her mom and soaked through the duvet so much so that they had to throw it away. I’m really worried that this is going to happen to mom especially as she has rectal cancer. I’ve not read any like this though in any of the literature I’ve seen. Is this something i need to prepare for? And if so how can I prepare?
