hi everyone
I'm new to this so apologies if I'm doing anything wrong!
my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer (non-small cell) in May, lots of fluid on her lungs then and some shadows on adrenal glands above her kidneys and possible shadows in the opposite lung to her initial tumor. Lymph glands also involved.
Stage 3b or 4, same outcome/treatment plan. No cure. No clinical trial suitable.
So 5 sessions of radiotherapy, to alleviate symptoms. Stopped any further spread.
started chemo but only managed 2 out of 4 sessions, before a urine infection led to urosepsis. A lengthy stay in hospital, 20 days, and now she's at home.
an abscess had formed in hospital and had to be drained, it's still being drained now.
Shes depressed and frustrated and fed up. I'm staying with her to look after her for a bit but I have to work during the day.
Im so tired. I can't concentrate at times because there's so much going on.
No Q, just introducing myself.
staying positive, we are into month 7 and she's still here although not out of bed yet!
