Hey all , brand new here . Mum was diagnosed terminal cancer in November , no treatment options available. She progressively got worse throughout December and jan, becoming fully dependent on my sister and I along with care staff . Mum was on EOL pathway , all non essential meds removed including insulin . Mum then started having good days ( was prepared for the rose before the fall but that was about a week ago and the fall hasn’t came )
mu mum is getting stronger and little more independent of late , I’ve had to pull back the level of support I can offer as have young family and wasn’t sustainable to live in with them for the long haul . When we thought it was short term the family rallied 100%. I work in medicine myself but I’m so confused and at a loss at to what is happening. I’ve cried and held vigils at mums bedside - and now she’s feeling better. Nurses can’t advice , aGp has reviewed scans and confirms diagnosis and treatment plan - I just wanted to know what’s happening ? How can someone be at deaths door not eating / drinking for 9 days at a time . Now back to small offerings . I know my mum is strong as an ox but to be so well that palliative nurses are reducing their visits just seems so strange . Has any other family members experienced this situation
thanks
