Cancer progression on the body

I suspect the correct answer is that everyone will present differently depending on the cancer, location and other factors. In my mother's case, she was acting perfectly normal up until we were walking together in a charity fundraising walk. On the last half mile, she started leaning to the left in a pronounced manner for no apparent reason. A couple weeks after that she began losing her balance, the next week she couldn't walk at all and the last week she could barely speak. From that first lean while walking to her death was four weeks. I know several others who have lost their battles to cancer over the years, and everyone of them has been different. 

My advice is that when something... anything abnormal occurs with your dad, to consult your hospice contact as soon as possible. With each new development with my mother, they always came right over with devices or medicines to make my mother comfortable with her new reality. I don't think we could have supported her without their help.

Thanks so much .

Its like I'm constantly waiting and watching .
