Hello,I'm new here and can't seem to find what I was looking for.lol.My mom is 86 yrs old and I found out on Xmas eve that she has Cancer in both lungs and also in her liver.Now my mom is real slow ,she can't read or write,dont understand much,and is very afraid of hospital's,Drs,nurses,police,and won't let them take blood,giver her shots.Well the Dr said he was gonna tell her,and I said No!!! She will get scared to death leave her alone as she lost her only son 2 yrs ago,they tried to put a mask on her face and she started crying and took it off,The Dr got mad at me and said then take her home and call hospice,I said I will and I'll call hospice when I feel I need to cross that bridge.They can't give her Chemo or Radiation because of her weight and age,and they can't operate.She does have some pain as she will ask me for a pain pill like evry other day,she is wetting herself a lot,but she don't look to me like she is at deaths door or has 1 foot in the ground! Why would they say well take her her,nothing we can do for her? Do they think she is gonna die soon? Im sorry,thank you for any answers.Have a great day everyone
