Dear Peta,You have now found the best support system for your Mom [and your family.] Can you please tell us more about your Mom's treatment? You will get lots of advice pertaining to the issues she will be dealing with if you let us know more about her situation. The feeding tube will be a great thing for keeping her well hydrated and well nourished[she may need some nutritional guidance] Her caregivers will get much needed support here as well, but we need to know what is going on. Good for you for searching for informed support and answers! Keep posting- this group can help your family get through this. Amy
