Hi all, 

My 73yo Nan was diagnosed with lung cancer around a month ago, they told her it looked like it had spread and despite them offering her treatment she has declined, even declining the biopsy so we have no idea what type it is. She watched my grandad go through treatment 20 years ago and can't face it herself when it did him no good. No amount of convincing worked and I've finally begun to accept it. 
 

She started with a bad chest during lockdown and despite constant calls to the doctors they refused to see her, she later got sent to a different doctors for a face to face who was really angry she hadn't been seen and ordered an x ray, hence the late diagnosis. Obviously this just makes it all sting worse knowing something potentially could have been done.

Having had no experience with cancer up close before myself I'm looking for what the signs are that the end is near with lung cancer and how long people typically last with no treatment? My Nan was essentially my mum and brought me up from aged 13, I'm her next of kin and will be moving in with her when necessary as neither me nor her want her going in a hospice. My Nan is currently coughing all the time and struggling to sleep, her breathing is wheezy. She is really stubborn though and keeps trying to do things like cut the lawn! Is there anything I can get her to make sleeping or breathing more comfortable? 

Thanks,

Lauren
