9 weeks from diagnosis to death

Hi, this is my first time posting on here. My grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer in September, sadly shortly after we found out she also had a tumour in her stomach and that there was no treatment available, she was 84. 4 weeks ago she became unwell and had to go into hospital, 5 days later she passed away, we were all with her when she passed, she was talking in the morning and by the afternoon she was completely unconscious and on a syringe driver, it was the worst 2 days of our lives. Finding it very surreal to deal wirh the fact that she's gone, we are a very close family and would be with her and my grandfather every day. Has anybody else had a simular experience, with only a few weeks between the diagnosis and death? 
thanks

  • Hi , sorry to hear about your loss .

    My dad suffered the same a year ago , 9 weeks after being told he had OC cancer he died in the worse way possible , it still haunts me to this day .

    As far as i am concerned cancer treatment is terrible in this country , Covid is nothing in comparison ! 

    Still angry over how my dad was mis -diagnosed and treated , 69 years old healthy and 9 weeks of awful suffering !
