Hi, My Dad was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer last September. He had Chemo up until Christmas which helped reduce the size of the tumor slightly. We knew we were only buying him time, the docs made us aware he was terminal. Since February time i've noticed Dad losing weight, looking weaker and generally looking much poorlier although theres been no pain until recently. 2 weeks ago I went away for the weekend for my son to raise some money for a lung cancer charity and when we got back I was taken aback by how much he had deteriorated over the few days I hadn't seen him. Over the last 2 weeks he has been put on steroids as, although he's decided no more tests, the docs believe its now gone to his brain and he's been confused, drowsy and extremely dizzy. The steroids have taken the edge off the dizziness but he's not bouncing back this time. He's sleeping probably 20 hours a day, he's still a little dizzy & not very hungry. Today he had extreme pain in his right shoulder. It was so bad he didn't know what to do with himself, it took strong painkillers and an hour to ease. Im worried at the speed he is deteriorating.
