When is it time

Hello,

 I am new to this site, my mother has stage IV BC that has metastized to the spine, bones and brain. She has been ill for 18 months. She has broken her femur and is now recuperating, and it seems as if she is getting better. I feel as if I need to on guard for another setback.

I don't live in the same town as her and I find it very frustrating to not have a time line, so as I can get back to her if it is close. We don't get any information from her doctor because of the confidentiality and she only tells us what she wants us to know.

I am so sorry to hear about your mother.  My mom has liver, lung, bone, and leptomeningeal spread.  I am struggling to get a time line as well.  I just want to be prepared.  She is getting scans this week and we plan on having a true discussion with the dr when we get the results.  We both have a lot of questions.  Is there anyway you could go with her to an appointment?  I go to all of my moms appointments and thank the Lord her doctors are really good about talking to me.  My mom's short term memory is gone so I have to go to her appointments just to keep things going in the right direction.  I am sorry for all that you are going through.  Sending a prayer your way.
