My mother died of bowel cancer when I was a teenager, it has spread to her bladder, lungs and liver. I still wonder how it actually killed her. What went wrong that stopped her heart pumping and lungs breathing?

Sorry to hear of your loss, it horrible to lose a parent in this way.
My father passed away “from” bowl cancer Jan this year…
It was the morphine actually killed him (it was a sweat relief).
He had a full obstruction of the bowl and was in a lot of pain, the morphine wasn’t really touching it, the doc who came to the house (he wanted to die at home) audibly noted that the new stat dose he was administering was “at the upper limits of a non lethal dose”… after the dose, he sort of went calm, then into a sleep and passed away…we was all by his side…the doc was visibly shaken, he knew what had happened, I shock his hand and thanked him, dad had suffered enough.
Cancer such a horrible disease 😞
