H​i

I am so sorry to hear about your mum. My dad was told he had  lung cancer last March and at first he was told that it was operable and in its early stages. but on further scans etc he was told it had spread and operation was not possible and that it was terminal and he would have very little chance of recovery. He has had Chemo and radiotherapy for past year and more recently had fluid drained on two ocassions. On draining the fluid they tested the fluid and found that the cancer was present in the fluid. so they will start Chemo again on the 23rd of this month. At first he was not happy to do further treatment due to side effects but has since decided to go for it hoping that it will cure him,

It is so heartbreaking to see him in the state he is in having lost weight etc. We have not been told how long he has but the doctors say once treatment starts to have no positive effect they will be able to tell us how long he has. Not looking forward to that day at all. I pray that he has a few years atleast rather than months.

At times i wonder whether chemo and radiotherapy has infact deteriorated his health more and had he not gone through that he would have longer to live.

I hope you find the strength to be strong so your mum does not see you not being strong as that will bear more upset for her. I dont know what to say other than be strong and make the most of each day. I am trying to do the same but my situation is a little more difficult than i have wrote but that is a long story. take care.
