This will not really be helpful, just letting you know the possibilities:
When my fathers' mother died (cancer), she had been through 6 major surgeries, radiation and chemo, and uncounted hospital stays. She went from 120 lbs up to 240lbs and died at 85lbs. She was home between the hospital stays at least 3 times a year. We also had a Dr. Doom & Gloom, we made the trip to Minnesota over and over at the last minute believing the "48 hours to go" speech. This entire process took 5 years. (I wonder what people without the income or no insurance do in this situaton do, do you bankrupt your children with hospital bills?)
Was it the right thing? I have no idea. But I know how guilty my parents would have felt if they didn't do all they could, And her husband needed time to let her go. Do what you need to and have all the family memebers take breaks and get awy from it for awhile. Getting some down time is really important to the ability to think clearly.
yep
