gran Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Just heard from my sister, the treatment has been stopped now, for what reason exactly is unclear, but her pain relief has been increased. Emma just sent me this when I asked why they have stopped the treatment Because she can't take the medication and she said it's cruel to keep trying to make her Seems strange this to me. It must be terrible for you to hear this, but this is not strange. Pain relief is important, no need for your mother to suffer without reason. My grandmother had cancer and when the treatment no longer had any chance of saving her from the disease the treatment was stopped and from then on they focused on saving her from the suffering.

GenTLe Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Only thing I can say is that I hope she will not suffer and the doctor will properly do some painkiller therapy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks, I have been in contact with my sister all day, my mom has slept most of the day, fading in and out of a sleep state, when awake, she is unable to talk properly, but appears to know who's there with her, my aunties, uncles, and family have all been to the ward today too. Just heard from Emma that she managed to eat some ice cream this evening, so thats a good thing. My other sister, Kerry will be staying with her overnight in the ward.
