Hi everyone. Thanks for letting me join. I was just wanting to ask a question around end of life. My Mum had sarcoma of uterus, this was surgically removed. Sadly the cancer spread to her liver, lungs, spine and pelvis. She managed 4 rounds of chemo. Unfortunately this caused so many side effects. We are months down the line now. She has just had an admission to her DGH. She to us is deteriorating. She has palliative care and district nurse involvement but nobody has actually told us she is nearing the end of life. I know this must be difficult to detect but everyone is skirting around this..... Would it be normal for someone to tell us that she is?? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you x
