Hi my mom has stage 4 small cell lung cancer which has spread to her liver and kidneys. She's had two rounds of Chemo but she is having no more as the cancer is spreading so fast.
She has suffered with chest infections which always seem to start when she has coughed up blood. Is this normal? I presume it's normal to cough up blood if you have lung cancer, but is it normal for this to cause an infection. They really seem to knock her about and ends up in hospital having antibiotics through IV. Is there anything we can do to help prevent infection re occurring because she seems to be on antibiotics more than she isn't.
Are long-term antibiotics something which may be considered in this case?
Hospital is the last place she wants to be and her past two visits have ended up being positive for covid too.
