Hi @Mellyb
Goodness don't know what to say! I can relate; my mother-in-law had a similar journey, she used to have a stent inserted on a regular basis to keep the bile ducts open into the liver. She became weaker and lost her battle at age 66. I lost my Mum at age 69 to lung and bladder cancer. Now that I am in my 60s I think what the!
It's a so and so! I see @SoldierCrab has given you the link for the helpline - hopefully they can offer you some comfort and understanding.
Enjoy the time you have with Mum and here's hoping she is comfortable and yes it is a good thing that she looks good.
Take care, sending you a virtual hug
