Worried

My mum has been diagnosed as terminal lung cancer metastasis to liver.   No treatment have been offered. She's 79 and quite frail.   Will it stop there or spread to other parts of the body.   She has memory problems  as well and this is a very challenging time for all of us.   We don't know what to expect in the months or weeks ahead leaving us a bit in limbo.     Anyone had similar journey.     TIA

  • Hello Charliealley and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat! 

    I am sorry to hear about your mum's lung cancer diagnosis and that she hasn't been offered any treatment. There is information on our website on this page about advanced lung cancer which I hope will be helpful to you. I can imagine this is an incredibly challenging time for you all and unfortunately it is difficult for anyone to predict what to expect in the months or weeks ahead. Perhaps you could try and reach out to her medical team and ask them what they think and whether there is anything more they can tell you about what to expect in the coming months and weeks.

    I hope that you will also hear from others here who have been on a similar journey and that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you.

    Best wishes to you and your mum,
