Remember how fathers’ metastatic liver cancer was asking so much energy from father that he could sleep more than 20 hours a day (see fathers’ quote: tired and sleepy)?
Now the same thing happens with mom: fathers’ number 1 cancer care taker. This week she has been in bed for almost all the week. The relation with the palliative care nurses is so good (they are all so sweet and devoted!!!), that one nurse dropped by to give mom a shower. And for all people out there: a shower does give some new energy!
Just to say that taking care of a sick person sucks out your energy, although you won’t admit it… Sooner or later your body will react. Moms’ body is in pain due "all the wrong movements" she made when taking care of father (lifting him up, going for a walk…), yet now she allows herself to feel the pain.
On top of that the pain of father no more being there for her at all…
my aunt’s cancer has spread already on her liver and the doctor said she has 6 months to live…. we already spent millions of peso for her cancer treatment….
