My Aunt just found our one month ago she has stage iv lung cancer.It is in her hip and many brain tumors..they cant do surg.She is almost done with her 3 weeks of radation.and goes weekly for 6 months for chemo.the dr keeps telling she need a power of attorney..So that is me.she doesnt want to talk about it and doesnt want to know anything.I want to know some family members also have seen her start to get a little forgetfull and very mean but thats her anyways.the dr said he isnt worried about the lung now its the brain tumors.My question is what next.I am worried sick she will not talk about it.We get the papers signed on monday and I want to ask the dr lots of questions.Am I wrong she doesnt want to know but I do also does other family members as we have to care for her.she is 66 and its very hard to see her weak cant eat and just mean and getting worse.she always has been spitefull but it is to the point now it it her normal state or is it the brain tumors.why do the drs want a power of attorney so bad? Also she will not fill out a living will...I dont know how long she will live but i want to make sure she is comfy she has no pain.I worry about her living alone and doesnt want anyone to  feel sorry for her.any help would be great or info anything.I can take the truth thank you.TOday she has her last radation treatment..She now is so honery with everyone and so what signs do we need to watch for.She doesnt sleep and just lays around and doesnt want to talk to anyone.She lives alone.We cant get her to do anything.The dr ask her if she is depressed she says no I am not.And she is.they ask her if she sleeps well she says yes and she doesnt.please any help would be great thank you.
