The Doctors has given my Mom 2 more years at most.

That hits hard, and even if we think we can prepare ourselves for when the day comes our parents go, we are never really, aren't we. That must have been a shock for you, Markus. My parents are mid and end 70, and I think of these things a lot. Always feels terrible. Sad to hear you now must face these sort of thoughts. I wish you strength. Confidence. Calm. Myself, when caught in such sad windmills of the mind, I find guidance in stoicism. What must happen, one day will happen. However, we must not be ahead of the event in our mind. Enjoy the time there is left until then, grab it, embrace it, dont let go. And whatever there may be left to say between you two, speak it out now. If you miss the last chance to do so, you will regret it for the entire rest of your life. Thats unneeded.

Sorry to hear the sad news Markus,

I myself hope for a huge heart attack and it's all over.

In our prayers.
All the best my friend.

That is extremely tough news Markus....wising your mom all the very best.

I'm very sorry to hear about your mom, Markus. Cherish the time you do have. Catfish is right about getting a second opinion. Medical Science can do a lot, then God takes it from there.

We will be keeping you, your mom and family in our thoughts and prayers.

All the best, Markus.

Thank you for your carrying words.

I had a talk with my Mom over the phone some hours ago and she got an appointment next Monday 9th Oct.

Here she shall meet doctors specialist on lungs. She hope they will give her a more positive feedback or if they can provide her with pill(s)

She was very clear in her head when I talked with her-No sign of Dementia here.

One thing is clear-Her death will come as a lightning from a blue sky-She wouldn't feel anything...faint and then dead.

Which makes us(her Children) happy.

We knew that one day our Mom would not be here anymore. And the fact her death will be painless, is a good ting in this sad news.

Markus
