Im so sorry to hear about your loss. Standing by and watching a loved one go through this is truly awful. I had a tear in my eye reading your story, it is very familiar to me. My mum went through something very similar over ~4 years. She had a minor relatively non-aggressive but unusual cancer. It was removed and she had optional radiotherapy to be sure it didn't return. She bounced back great - but then the odd stomach issues started. No doctor could find or diagnose the cause. She was slowly fading away and getting weaker and weaker. She spent more time in hospital than out. She was always at the mercy of the next life-threatening PICC infection. The only explanation we ever had for the gastroparesis was that the radiotherapy damaged the nervous system around her stomach. It was years of misery and suffering, all the while propped up by TPN through starvation. Eventually she found her release, but like you, it changed my perspective on life and dying.
