Little Mum's mobility as in my previous post has now more or less completely gone, as well as Alzheimers she has been diagnosed in the last two weeks triple negative breast cancer in both breasts. She's still talking but its getting harder and harder to understand her and she has now lost her appetite to eat anything much.
I said to the care home Mum seemed to have got smaller but they said she's only lost half a stone in the last year. Having asked four times for her to be weighed recently finally she was only to find that she has lost
12 llbs in the last month and is now down to 6 stone 9llbs!
I noticed when Mum was with us on Saturday she ate a biscuit but seemed to be chewing it for ever without swallowing maybe this is why she's not eating?
Is it the cancer or the Alzheimers that's stopping her eating or has she just given up?
Don't know what to do for the best, I'm still working full time but want to spend more time with Mum. If I felt this is the end I'd just spend time with her. But I keep being told she's no where near that stage yet
I feel like I'm on some dreadful roller coaster of emotion. I feel worn out and depressed, struggling to keep it together at work. My poor Mum how much longer is this going to go on for.
Meeting the dr tomorrow could do with some advice.
