Hello all, We found out about two weeks ago that my nan (86) has stage four cancer, it's also spread to her bones and lymph nodes etc. They are not offering any treatment and she would like to die at home so we took her home from the hospital.
My mum and I have moved in with her because we don't want her to be alone (my grandad passed away two years ago) and in the first week she was up watching films with us, Eating three meals a day and drinking cups of tea etc and now she has gone downhill so fast, She has refused food for the last four days, and the only drink she will have is water when she has to take her meds, She is also choosing to stay in bed and is sleeping through the day and only really wakes up when we wake her to give her her medication, She has been this way for four days now. Its also getting harder to wake her up, as in we will say her name over and over and it takes a while for her to wake up.
Anyone with experience of looking after someone with this stage of cancer? How long is it likely to be now before she passes away? I know no answer is set in stone but if she hasn't eaten for four days I'm thinking she might be near?
