Hi I have been reading this message board since my mom came down with Oral cancer for a few years now.
You have educated me and for that I'm very grateful.

Mom is 83 now and has been our miracle surviving Lymphoma stage4 25 years ago.
Now she has Oral cancer since 11/2008. She has had chem/Radiation
and then a tumor showed up in March 2012 where they took it out. Well another tumor has appeared and they can no longer do any treatments she has had her limit. And they have opted out of having the Jaw removed and are going to let her go now.

My question: What is she going to be going through until the end? How long will it be? I don't want her in any pain and I don't feel my family is totally aware of what to expect and I needed some straight answers so I can help them prepare.
I love my mom she has dementia from all the treatments but I don't want to see her suffer what can I do?
