Hi all, yes I’ve left this til the last minute but I just haven’t had hardly any time to myself since I flew over from Australia 5 months ago to care for my mum who was diagnosed with terminal ethmoid cancer. I’m currently sat beside her bed at home and my gut tells me she is going to leave soon. I’m just a bit worried about how to handle her as she has just had a sort of panic attack (has been sleeping all week) and seemed to be in pain. We have been given midazolam to use as buccal liquid and it’s helped but I’m so worried I won’t cope at 2am and the hospice is an hour away. Any advice??
Thank you in advance. Sorry for garbled short message. Trying to hold my mum’s hand and type one handed
Hi ,
so sorry to hear about your mum and cannot say I have any real practical advice having never been in that situation myself. For medical advice it might be best to ring 111 who might be able to suggest things you could try.
You just being there I am sure though will be a big comfort to her and glad you have some support to.
<<hugs>>
Steve
