My mum who is a healthy 67 year old woman . Well was . Was diagnosed June 2021 with non small cell lung cancer. She has it in both lungs , lymph nodes, spine , breast bone. She was having chemo maintenance but they have stopped that and there is a tumour they can't get too that is slowly growing on lung.
She has had a permanent drain fitted to collect the fluid. A nurse will now come weekly to drain . She had a litre drained within a week. She has swollen ankles and been told to rest. I am unsure what to think as she has been trying to carry on as normal. She has her partner with her. Is this a sign she will get worse or just part of the ups and downs?
I am trying to keep it from my children for as long as possiobeo as we are all so close but I feel I will have to tell my odlerst two who are late teens but don't want to until i really have to !?
