My mom had been diagnosed with colon cancer about a year ago. Operation revealed metastatic cancer. She was told that operation just will prolong her life but that no chemo or anything will help. About two months ago she started to lose weight rapidly and gets very tired. She now does not come out of her apartment and she is on hospice at home. But there is no pain except legs swelling. She never ate much- so now she does not eat much but otherwise- no other issues. Her pressure is Ok.. I am wondering if that stage can last long or not. I am thinking of moving her to another city, where we bought a house, but it is not clear.
I moved back home to be closer and help with her needs, the move has helped both of us - me with peace of mind & her knowing she isn't alone.
What does the dr say about moving? I think it would help her spirits to be in a different place other than her apt. Has she been evaluated mentally? This diagnosis can certainly weigh heavily and being able to talk through it can be helpful.
If not, if she stabilizes- we can move her. That;s the plan
