Hi,

I've joined this group to try and express how I feel and talk to people who are going through the same. It's comforting knowing people are having the same emotions as generally I find that people don't know what to say to me. So here goes.....

My mum is 53. She caught a cold at the beginning of the summer holidays and was told she had a chest infection, then plurecy...chest X-ray.ct and biopsy. Long story short she didn't get better and my sister took her to a and e before we had the results as mum really wasn't looking well.  On 14th November 2014 they told my mum she had stage 4 lung cancer. Already had spotting on the bones in various places. Her hip broke while she was in hospital due to cancer in the hip. They let her out on 28th November and she came to stay with me. They gave her some chemo in the hope it would slow things down but over Xmas she became unwell and a CT revealed that the primary tumour in her lung had continued to grow even with the chemo so they stopped. She has had some radiotherapy to help with pain. It's difficult looking after her. I feel so helpless. She is so young to have this. I know it can happen to anyone but seems so unfair. So now it's a waiting game.mtaking each day as it comes.ma she won't ask how long she has and I know they can't tell you anyways. Anyone else dealing with stage 4 lung? Feel so many emotions at the moment. It's tearing me apart,m
