Hi all..
My mum got diagnosed with lung cancer in october 2021. She had 2 tumours removed but in january she stopped walking due to pain in bone and they discovered the cancer had metastasized to her bone and skull.
Since she has had 1 session of radiotherapy and had a metal rod inserted to strengthen the bone as it was fractured.
She is still unable to walk and cannot even sit up. She has now been moved to a Marie Curie hospice and is on multiple pain relief including anaesthetic into her leg. She has developed bedsores stage 2 on her lower back and has to have dressing changed twice a day.
We are waiting for a scan to determine how effective the radiotherapy has been but the nurses are saying if shes not strong enough for chemo she wont have it.
She just lies there and drifts off every now and then
Shes in severe pain so has lots of meds...i think its best she came home as all that shes having is dressing changed and pain relief. Shes saying she feels medical care is better in the hospice...
Given that she may not have long left..what is best
