    Patty, thank you for your quick response. She is under home care. We are in the Philippines and unfortunately, the healthcare system here is not as advanced as in first world countries.

    Its been 4 days since my mother entered comatose state but her BP remains steady hovering from 80/60 to 70/50. Our major concern now is we do not know whether she is in pain or not.

    My mom was diagnosed with Klatskin’s tumour last February. She is now in comatose state after undergoing a week of extreme painful events since the cancer spread to her bones. Her body is not totally immobile and she is breathing with the help of an oxygent ventilator. Her “food” is Kabiven ($120 a day). Its Day 4 since she went into coma.

    Everyone believes that it is anytime now. However, I want to further understand add’l symptoms that her body could be undergoing. My biggest concern is we dont know if she is in pain. We brought her home yseterday as i was one of her last wishes.

    Any information on the last “days” of a dying patient is appreciated.
