I watched a family member whittle away from colon cancer last year. It was something that I would not wish on anyone. Heartbreaking to see them suffer. Hopefully hers would not be as long and her suffering on earth ends soon. Prayers for her and the family.

Ditto to what everyone said above...

You cannot explain how bad the "downhill" can get unless you see it first hand. Like LM said, say a prayer she finds a better place as quick as possible.

It is pretty bad and my experience ended August 1 last year. To this day the suffering is all I see and wish I could get it out of my head. I still cry and I am pretty good at handling death just not the suffering.

Yes, this is not a dignified death.

Hoping that she has a merciful, peaceful and quick passing. Lost my mom last November and despite hospice care, we prayed every day that her passing would come quickly. Cancer does really suck !!
