Hi, myself and my two sisters are in a similar situation. My mother was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Has had numerous surgeries. In 2014 it metastasised to her lung. Which was operated on. Now, another mass in bowel and lung and also spot on liver, surgery is no longer an option. She is now in end stages. Very hard to watch and manage. Between hospital trips for blood transfusions etc and pain management. And looking after our own children, and also working.. It's getting very mentally exhausting.
Every hospital trip we do, it feels like it will be the last. Very hard... In some ways, I just wish she would pass quickly, or in her sleep... It's so cruel to see someone you love going through this day in day out.

My mum has been in and out of hospital quite regularly of late. Having blood transfusions and antibiotics. Drs saying the bleed is from the mass in her bowel. Surgery is not an option. I am finding it very hard as every time we go in to the hospital, she is so unwell. It's like well, is this it? Is this the end? And then they give her a few bags of blood and antibiotics, and then, she is bouncing off walls again.... It's just getting harder and harder...it's like losing her each time she goes to hospital. So mentally(emotionally) draining...

Hi all... Well. This is my first entry. My mother was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2014. She had numerous surgeries that year. Cancer metastasised to her lung. Surgery to remove that. Now, we are facing a new mass, again in bowel, and again in other lung and also in liver.
