Honest Answer needed with any helpful information please!

Hi, can someone please help me and give me an honest opinion. A very close relation got diagnosed with cancer recently after just beating breast cancer and melamona in the finger. The cancer was recently found in between this person's breast and in her lung. The type of cancer has not yet been diagnosed but it turns out it has spread under her arm, down her arm and in her back in the space of a few weeks? Can someone please tell me can it be curable with treatment if the cancer is spreading to those places? should I prepare myself. This person is also a smoker. Someone please give me an honest answer!

  • Hello Sprinkle

    I'm sorry to hear about your relative's recent news. It's understandably a worrying time for you all. I'm afraid that it's impossible to say what the outlook may be for your relative and what treatment or management options may be available to her. 

    Hopefully once the Consultant has some more information, you will all have a better idea about what the future holds. 
    If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses then  you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
