Is this the beginning of the end?

Mum was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last July and coped well through the chemo and radiotherapy! Then about 6 weeks ago we found out that it has spread to her spine and pelvis and since then things have gone from bad to worse... She had more radiotherapy last week and is now back home but now cant move her legs and she seems completely out of it... Is this the beginning of the end? I was expecting her to keep going for a few months more at least... It's all happening far too quick! We have a holiday booked for in 2 weeks time for the kids but now I'm wondering if I should cancel/postpone in case the end is nigh... I just don't know what to do any more 

  • Hi Mokey,

    So sorry your in this situation, I can only speak from experience with my nan, but she was in a similar situation.

    Personally I would not travel, my nan started struggling to walk and was out of it, after she kept falling over she was moved to hospital, and after a week to a hospice, where she passed after a few days. Everyone is different.

    There is not much we can do, other than to try and make best of the time left.
