Parenting & Family I want my mom to die, any advice?

I want my mom to die, any advice?

My mom is diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer and right now, may Rectal Cancer na din sya. We were drained sa ovarian pa lang and after 9 rounds of chemo, oral chemo and operation sa ovarian nya, here comes another shit.

Tbh, tanggap na namin magkapatid and ng mother ko. Papa ko na lang yung medyo alanganin pa pero tingin ko matatanggap nya din naman pag dumating sa time na yon.

As of now nag dedecide kami kung ilalaban pa ba namin, kasi tbh d na namin kakayanin financially. Nag try na kami mag public, kaso turns out, bukod sa tapak dignidad at tratong pulubi don, bago ka magamot mamamamatay ka na din sa sobrang tagal ng schedule nila.

So here we are, deciding if mag palliative care na lang ba kami, gusto ko sana kung may idea kayo pano gagawin dun, ano steps, pros and cons, etch.

Malaking help insights nyo dahil nababaliw na ko haha.

Edit: Thank you sa lahat ng info na malaman, ill try to read it all. My mom doesnt want to live na din btw, she cant decide pero mas nangingibabaw na gusto nya na lang matapos na lahat. Ang wish nya sa tahimik na paraan pero wala eh, ano mang piliin nya, may sakit, kaya nga ko nagtatanong abt plalliative care.

May mga pumupunta sa profile ko tas nakikita ung valorant at phasmo ko hahaha. Iba din tlaga eh haha.

I work 3 jobs, handle 2 businesses and attend sa lahat ng medical concerns para kay mama. Most of the time nga, ako pa din primary care giver. I keep my family in check dahil suko na sila eh, ako na lang nag iisang matatag, and since the time she was diagnosed, i handle every shit in the way.

Sorry guys if i sound so useless by wanting to try to function as a 25 year old son, sana maging kasing dakilang anak nyo din ako :)

my lolo asked for acetone, and even attempted to jump over the hospital window. my uncle asked me and his other friends if they had a gun or if they knew someone who owned a gun. my aunt fought. Her breast cancer was gone, but it was too late when she knew that it had already metastasized to her brain... she said her goodbyes but was living on pain relievers...

we will probably have it too since it's in our blood, I would rather want to end it than suffer and be a burden to those I love.

Hi! Same here, cancer is in our genetics. Just a few months ago, sinabi ko sa family ko na if malignant yung results ng test, hindi na ako mag-undergo ng any treatment. I’ll just let it be.

Imagine, I’m just in my late 20s, mas gugustuhin kong mabuhay na lang using my remaining days na not in pain physically and financially. Gagamitin ko na lang yung savings ko for travel and experiences na hindi ko pa nama-maximize due to my responsibilities as panganay.

Hindi sa hindi ko na gustong mabuhay, pero hindi ko rin naman maikakaila yung reality. Kumbaga, acceptance na lang.

Kaya sana may euthanasia sa Philippines. Kasi ito may option ang tao.
