Stage 4 lung cancer questions

Hi everyone, I'm after some help. My dads been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. He's got a long term catheter to drain fluid, and just come out of hospital for the second time. He is now only managing a few words then gasping for a breath. Getting confused and forgetting. Is this what happens? He's very poorly atm and we've had no guidance from anyone medical, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this. Im lost xThankyou so much xx 

  • Hello Katy1832

    I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad's diagnosis and that you've been left feeling uncertain and unsupported. Please do get in touch with your Dad's GP if you've not already done so to get discuss his condition and arrange to get some support and follow-ups in place. 

    We do have some information on our website about advanced lung cancer which may be of help but I'd also suggest you give our team of nurses a call. I'm sure they will be able to offer some advice, information, and support. they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
