Hello everyone.
So my nan recently got diagnosed with cancer in her left breast and lung, and at the base of her skull by her spinal chord.
From what i can gather, it started in her breast and spread from there. Now, the research that i have done tells me that this is Metastasis (although that hasnt been confirmed).
What i am hoping to get from you is a prognosis and, yes i suppose, the time frame that my nan has. Yes i know it isnt something i should want to know but i want to prepare myself.
My nans genral health condition is that she is an overweight, ex-smoker, she has bad arthritis so she cant move around easily so no exersize and her diet isnt great.
I know these things will factor into it. Unfortunately i dont know how far along my nans cancer is as she is waiting for another oncology appointment.
One thing we have been told by the hospital though, is that my nan wont be recieving any treatments such as hormone, chemo or radio therapy as it either wont work or it will just make things worse, so they plan to have her moved into a nursing home by the end of the week
So i want to know what sort of prognosis she is likely to have when she will recieve no treatment, and also if there is anything that me or the rest of the family can do to help her??
Anything you can tell me will be appreciated, thank you x
