What Is The Prognosis Of Metastatic Brain Cancer?
My Mom has Metastatic Brain Cancer. She is in a nursing home and is in alot of pain in her head and neck. We are trying to stay ahead of the pain. She is also not mobile and sleeping alot. Her family lives very far away. How will I know when it will be time to tell them to come and stay with their father when the end is near? Will there be signs I can look for?
