My mum was diagnosed with untreatable lung cancer on 21 December which seems to have progressed very quickly. She's in hospital at the minute and is awaiting an assessment by the hospital palliative team for a hospice referral.
Mum stopped eating, or having any interest, in food not long after her diagnosis and has lost so much weight there's nothing of her, which is horrible to see. We were told on Saturday that the cancer has developed and she's now starting to get towards the end of her life, and I'm terrified, and really don't know what to expect. My greatest fear is that she will suffer, although she hasn't had any pain so far. None of the doctors who seen her will give a prognosis so I have no idea how long I'll have her for, I just hope I'm there when she needs me and I can give her some comfort
