We`ve been told that my mum now only has a few days to live as the cancers have progressed more quickly than last thought..She will be staying here at home as this best place for her and that district nurses will call morning and night now to check on her morphine and medication...Its just a matter of time they say now..How they know this i dont know?? All i know is I love my mum 
I was in your shoes a few years back with my dad...i decided too look after him at home with the help of his wife.
It will get worse mate before the end so prepare yourself as best you can.
If your lucky your doctor will do as mine did...offer too give an injection too
help with the pain and explain its now there final couple of hours.
Just one thing make sure your not in the same room (or within ear shot) when they come too collect the body...sorry too say they don't treat them with much respect and threw my dad onto a trolley.
Probably not what you wanna hear mate but your better off knowing.
You have my sympathies...
