hi, my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer which had spread to her brain 3 months ago. She’s been doing ok until 5 days ago when she was admitted to hospital as she had been constipated for some time. Hospital then said she had chest infection & began anti biotics. She was real ill and the outlook was poor. The doctor suggested her days were limited and stopped all treatment & just kept her comfortable. However she’s picjed right up & they are now going to start anti biotics again. I am really struggling with being told she’s basically not gona survive the night to being told they are optimistic. Obvs I am thrilled but the rollercoaster of emotion is too much. I just want to know if there is a chance she will ever leave hospital but no one will comit to an answer. Is this the end or is it not? I want to have some idea if I should be preparing for the worst or looking forward to getting her home. Has anyone else been in a similar situation & what was the outcome, did you get your loved one home to fight another day
