My mil has colorectal cancer diagnosed 1.5 yrs bck. She is now in end of life care. Throwing up blood. How long can we expect her to live? She is in immense pain
Hi,
Welcome but I am so sorry to hear about your mother in law . Her pain sounds distressing . If she is blood in her vomit I think you should contact the NHS111 . It sounds as though she needs some help from professionals . Even for her pain control .
We also have a helpline 0808 808 0000 . They may be able to guide you on life expectancy.
Take care and much love ,
Court
