Hello all
I’m 78 years old and known my sister for 75 years.
She is now in palliative care after her brain cancer caused a seizure. She is writhing in end of life pain and can’t speak or recognise anything.
Tomorrow I am visiting her, knowing that hearing is the last thing to go.
She deserves peace after years of fighting cancer in most of her body.
I would really love to know how others have handled this kind of situation please
love
Tony
