Cancer sucks, my uncle died from stage 4 pancreatic cancer at 35 y.o. He died after 2 months from his diagnosis, he looked pregnant because of cancer growth. Multiple morphine injections did nothing, only removed his emotions. It spread to his heart and brain, he died from a heart attack in a coma.
Well crap, that just sucks. Sometimes things just get really crappy and there’s nothing you can do about it. I’m sorry for what you, your mother in law and your husband are about to go through.
I’m sorry. This will be hard on your family. I hope she isn’t in stage 4 breast cancer. And if she is, I hope they give her something better than morphine. Morphine doesn’t work great for severe pain. Try asking for Delauded or Demerol. They work much better.
I’m sorry about your MIL. It seems like her health has been declining for some time. You’ve been a real trooper in terms of taking care of your MIL all this time. With that said, I do think it is the time for your MIL’s medical team to really step up and arrange for either nursing home care or in home care assistance for your MIL.
I am so sorry that you are feeling so anxious and stressed. It is completely understandable given all that you have been dealing with. You have really gone above and beyond in terms of how you have handled everything going on in your life. You should be commended for your strength and fortitude and you deserve a break from the constant daily stress.
