well just got home, doc called a meeting tonight with my mother and her 4 boys, we all met with him at the hosiptal. he then told us that the tumor is not oprabale and that he is changing her meds, after a little more info we are having hospice come in and get the house set up for her.
we then have the right to bring her home! at this time knowing what he told her and us she stated that she wants the DNR now. i explained it all to her again and she stated it not going to make a difference so why not, so we signed it tonight. he also told us that she will be gone in a few weeks!! a month at best  she then asked how will it happen??  he stated that tye pain will be getting worse by then and he will give her more pain meds to keep her comfortable and as the time gets closer she will get more and more tired till she goes to sleep and she will just pass, man i about hit the floor!! she is taking it very well! so tomorrow we will start getting the house ready for her and she will be home this weekend. its going to be a hard few weeks!

once again, sorry your family is having to go through this. hospice will give you a pamphlet type book explaining what to expect and what time line you are looking at. i found this to be extremely accurate and it was a comfort to know what to expect. when they assign a nurse, have a heart to heart with him/her , they usually have a better idea than the docs as to what is ahead. try to spend as much time as you can with your mom, even if she is sleeping. my mom would often awake early in the morning and that was when she was the most lucid and wanted to talk.

I know both of my parents would have liked to pass at home (esp my Mom), but when the time came it just wasn't feasible.
Keep on doing all you can for her and hang in there yourself. I feel your pain... rkc
