Try not to focus on those things now Patrick... try and get as much time with yer mum now, even if it hurts to see her like that. It will help you later on, to know you did everything you could to be with her now.
Trust me on that, i've gone through a similar thing with my grandma, not cancer, but just really old age, slowly withering away .. when she went to the hospital with a broken hip, i was there all the time, and i still can look back at those days and feel good about the little things like sitting by her bed for 5 hours, holding her hand while she slept.. but waking up in time to squeeze hand and ask me not to go , when i stood up to go stretch my legs and go for a leak.
