End of life symptoms

kay10 — Wed, 10 Jul 2019 07:47:28 GMT

My relative doesn't have much time left but I'm guessing between days to IF weeks very few.

she has late stage metastasised breast cancer

She sleeps most of day and only manages one or two bites of food.

Symptoms include all I expected, weight loss, confusion, extreme lethargy

However I've noticed one of her eyes has become lazy and the pupil won't dialate when the other does.

Has anyone experienced this with a friend/relative in their late stages of cancer?
