MY BROTHER'S AND I ARE CARE GIVERS FOR MY MOM WHO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH INOPERABLE LUNG CANCER IN APRIL. SHE IS AT HOME AND WILL NOT RETURN TO HOSPITAL. THE DR GIVES NO GUESS ON TIME REMAINING BUT MOM IS DOING OK - SHE IS ON HIGH DOES OF MEDICINES BUT IS NOT IN TOO MUCH PAIN. MY QUESTION IS WHAT WILL BE COMING OUR WAY AS CAREGIVERS. RIGHT NOW SHE HAS SWOLLEN FEET AND ONE LEG WITH A WATER BLISTER ON IT. SHE CANT WALK OR EVEN STAND ON HER OWN ANY MORE. SHE IS ON OXYGEN AND ALSO USES A NEBULIZER FROM TIME TO TIME. I AM FRIGHTENED OF THE FUTURE AND OF THE UNKNOWN. MOM IS 77 YEARS OLD AND HER MIND IS VERY VERY GOOD. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANKS.
