Hello everyone,
I am so numb with sadness. My wonderful mum (she is 75) is dying with this dreadful disease. She went to the doctors with a swollen shoulder in September. After been sent for scans she was diagnosed with this horrible condition, which if you read up on has a devastating prognosis. My mum started chemo which had a positive effect, and even shrunk the tumour in her lung (cancer had spread to her ribs and small spots in her liver). Then she was put on Immunotherapy which not only didn’t work for her, but also aggravated the cancer making it triple in size and spread all throughout her body. We am totally devastated and heartbroken. She is so brave and strong. She has been told she won’t see Easter. The long goodbye is like torture seeing her pain increase. She never complains and still hopes for a miracle. Her sister has only just passed with liver cancer too. I have started to grieve already as I know there is only pain and loss ahead. I’m so sorry if my post is painful for those who have this aggressive disease. We need a world wide funding program for lung cancer to give the people with it a fighting change. There needs to be hope to carry us through. Wishing everyone a good prognosis who has cancer at this time xxx
