My mum

Hi all my mum has stage 4 end of life lung cancer . She has developed a lump in her neck . I am wondering is it that the cancer is now in the lymph nodes. ? 

  • Hello Philbob, 

    I am so sorry to hear that your mum has stage 4 end of life lung cancer and has developed a lump in her neck. There is information on our website on stage 4 lung cancer which may be of interest to you. I am not sure whether the fact that she has developed a lump in her neck means that the cancer is now in the lymph nodes but it's important that you mention it to her oncologist if you haven't done it already and they will be able to tell you more about what this lump in her neck might be. 

    Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you would like to talk things through with them. Their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I also hope that you will also hear from other forum members who have been in a similar place before and have looked after a loved one with stage 4 lung cancer.  

    Best wishes,
