My dear sister is in the final stages of pancreatic cancer. She got home from hospital on Wednesday, and is now on morphine, with family caring for her and palliative nurses coming in once a day. She is very very weak, and sleeping most of the time. I stay 600 miles away, and was down visiting last weekend, which I am so thankful for. I am finding it very hard to cope with, I cannot concentrate on anything. I know it’s a million dollar question, but do I have time to go back weekend?
Thank you
Hello Crackers
I am sorry to hear your news. Sadly, none of can answer this question as people are all very different in the last stages of their lives. Maybe one of your sister’s nurses might have some idea.
