Thanks everyone for the good wishesI'm sorry @VitaMan .. 'fraid it is going to happen to us all.
Stepdad got the same diagnosis and lasted over the year..but didn't make 2.
Now would be the time to have a full and frank discussion...if you can...about what she wants to happen.
It's all about her now. Bless her..
My mother, sister and I have been having this conversation for many years, since her kidneys started failing. Mom has "do not resuscitate" instructions.
Of course we accept this. As a social service worker I have seen the effects of relatives' prolonged suffering on clients and the burden on health care.
The day will come and I won't like it. In the meantime it is about QUALITY of life.
