End of life symptoms
Hi
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?
