Hello. My mum (78) was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in both lungs and some of her lymph nodes only 2 weeks ago. She has great pain and it seems to snake all around her body. She’s on 10mcg morphine patch and has oromorph when needed which has started to be twice a day. She’s eating like a bird and it’s hard to get her to drink much. She’s more comfortable in bed.
I’m worried she will just get weaker and weaker and don’t know if this is last stages. We have oncologist appointment next week to discuss treatment but been told it’s incurable.
is anyone having a similar experience and could advise what is the best way to look after her? Do I just let her sleep all the time?
thanks.
