I am still very new to this forum, my mother was only diagnosed three weeks ago and given less than 6 months to live, but in this time I will like we have been dealing with this forever. Watching the strong woman that I know struggle to swallow and breath. But we do have good days. We actually got the brand new wheelchair out and went to the mall. We had a good time. It's these moments that I will hold onto. The bad days are really bad, but we are with her. She keeps saying "I'm still here." I know that this is still denial for her, but I don't want her to be afraid. So I will let her hold onto that denial until she doesn't need it anymore. On a different note, does anyone have any suggestions on the saliva and swallowing issue. That is one of her biggest complaints that she is choking. She won't use her suction machine because she says that the problem is further down in her throat. Any help is very appreciated.
