My mother was diagnosed with bone cancer and died a week later. She had been living with it for some time and just dealt with the pain until my sister made her go to a doctor. I’m not sure what the lesson is here or even if there is one but yeah, it can all happen quickly.
- jacquesm 5y agoFirst off, my condolences. This is something I have seen more frequently with older people: they just suck it up either because they don't want to be a burden on others or because they have seen a lot of hardship in their lives and on that scale some pain signals don't register high enough to make a fuss about. If there is a lesson: keep an eye on older people and be sensitive to the stuff they tend to shrug off.
