Hi everyone,
On Wednesday my Foster mum (I'm aged 25) was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. The doctor said it wasn't curable but just treatable. She is have a biopsy on Monday to see what chemo is the best.
We are all shocked by this and struggling to come to terms with it. We're not sure if it has spread to her bowel (awaiting colonoscopy results).
I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect when caring for her. She is current just very tired with back pain where the large primary site is.
Is it normal for her to be so tired? Should I push her to get out more? I just worry she will end getting in a very dark emotionally that she'll struggle to get out off.
What can I expect when she gets worse?
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Many thanks,
Amy
