Mum recovering from lung cancer surgery

Hi 

I was looking for some help and advice on symptoms my mum is experiencing. She is 6months post surgery for removal of cancer on her top left lung. She was then few weeks after giving the "all clear "

Until about 4 weeks ago she was generally improving. This past while she is sleeping so much again and is vomiting after eating most days of the week.

She has been back only last week for her review mri from surgery. Can anyone give some help...much appreciated feel lost and no answers of what is actually going on with her.

  • Hello Clarec87

    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum has been struggling with her health these past few weeks. It's understandable that you're feeling worried about this decline, given that she has previously had surgery for lung cancer. 

    You mention in your post that she has recently had a review MRI. I presume that at this point, she hasn't seen the specialists for the results of that MRI? 

    Do talk with your Mum's GP and her clinical specialist nurse about the decline that you've noticed recently and the struggles she is having with keeping food down. It may be that they want to arrange fr your Mum to be seen sooner or that there are some additional tests that they want to request. 

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    I hope that you have some answers soon and that things improve for your Mum. 

    Best wishes,
