Hi Raggy01,
I’m sorry to hear about your mum. As we are not health care professionals
this is not something we would be able to answer here on the Community. Generally a doctor or district nurse who is
involved in your mother’s care would be able to discuss her prognosis in more
detail with family members and help you understand what to expect.
There is information here
that may be of some help to you. If you would like to talk about any of this
please call our Free phone Support Line on 0800 090 2309, or drop us a line via
Web Chat: https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/help
Best Wishes
Clare (Marie Curie Support Line)
If you have any questions you would like our Support Line Officers or Information and Support Nurses to answer please post them here and we will respond to them as soon as possible.
