Daughtersofmoms withBREASTCANCER talking openly to mom

Hi. I am new to this group. My mom has had a reoccurance (over a year
ago) and just recently found out it has spread to a bone in her spine.
I live far from her and occassionally get to go with her to her appts.
She is now having pain and it seems that they have stepped up her
treatment even more. I am having a hard time getting clear answers
from my mom. She tries to protect me from bad news, but I really need
information! I do not want to upset her, but I want to try to have a
realistic picture of the time she may have. I would try even harder to
be with her (taking off work, taking the kids out of school). I want
to have a real discussion about her wishes when that time comes. Based
on what others have told me and what I have read, her time could be
limited. Any advice on how to open up conversation without sounding
like you've given up the fight. Of course, I want to support her while
she continues to fight, but do not want to look back and wish I had
done more, said things differently...Thanks for any support you may
offer.
