Anyone have experience of dealing with a terminally ill cancer patient - is this normal?

MIL has liver cancer that has spread to her pancreas and bile ducts. DH is flying out to spend the last weeks with her on Monday.

Apparently though, she's having increasing episodes where her BP goes down dramatically and she seems really ill and then a few hours later, she perks up and is walking around - is this normal? She didn't have any pain before but she does now so they are slowly starting to increase the pain medication. She also seems spaced out and times - as if she doesn't really know what is going on - is that the pain killers?

Her tummy is where the pain is btw...she's not eating much and is also non insulin type diabetic

Will DH have enough time?
