Hello
I want to talk to someone who has experience of lung cancer. I have had the most devastating two weeks. Two sundays ago we were due to all go for a family meal.
I rang my mum to say what time we would pick her up. She said she didnt feel well enough as she was breathless. I was really worried and begged her to ring 111. She did and was rushed to hospital. I honestly thought she had a bad chest infection. She wanted me to still have rhe meal. My daughters rushed to the hospital and i followed later. She wasnt started on antibiotics. I was getting more worried. She had an xray and they then wanted a ct scan. On the weds we were all called to the hospital. The consultant came in and told us all and mum that she had lung cancer. At that point mum was on a small amount of oxygen. But sitting in bed reading a paper.
The dr said he needed to do a bronchoscopy to find out which cell type. Then mum could hopefully have radiotherapy.
Mum was positive about this. She had the broncoscopy. I rang all morning to see if she was back from theatre. Eventually she came back. I spoke to her and visited later. Mum didnt feel too good. She developed a chest infection and ended up on hi flow oxygen. She rapidly declined and passed away on may 18th. I am absolutely beside myself with grief!! She adopted me and was my best friend!! My rock!! She is a grandmother and great grandmother. We are all in pieces!!! She had been to her gp with various symptoms!! Im going to talk through her medical notes with her go.
Please can you all tell me of your personal experiences with lung cancer.
Thankyou!!!
Maria.
