Hello,

Not sure really what I'm after. My best friend has had a brain tumor for a few years now but in January it was diagnosed stage 4 terminal. I spent the weekend with her boys and I keep thinking she has to make it and will beat this.... I know she won't make it to Christmas as sadly she now is loosing her sight, her balance and sleeps alot. She is on steroids so she isn't the same physically. She also keeps talking our future trips we will do with our families which is heartbreaking as she doesn't or can't realize. She is in a hospice but goes home during the weekend days. She can't be left alone as she is danger to herself. She thinks she is in a care home as she broke her arm after falling. She keeps telling me she isn't sick and wants to go home. 

I feel broken. Thank you for reading

  • Maybe she can go home? There are care teams for home, family? I would think no one would want to be in a care home, hospice or a hospital. Easier said of course.

    she is really depressed there :( She comes home during the weekends but needs 24h care so if they can get help she will be home. Thank you
