So last month second week of January my aunty got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer it was very advanced it had spread to her bones, liver, kidneys and spinal chord. She got diagnosed after being in hospital with fluid around the heart and it needing draining. Since being diagnosed she's had fluid drained again twice each time quite a lot of fluid and just last week she was back in after breathing difficulties which turned out to be blood clots on the lung. They put a hospital bed in her house and put her on constant oxygen at home as well as lots of pain relief and other meds. She started to pick up a bit. We went to christies end of last week and they told her they couldn't give her chemo at the minute as she's too poorly and to many complications. And that the fluid has come back but doubled and it needed to be drained the following Tuesday which was yesterday. Unfortunately they didn't drain it yesterday as other the weekend she deteriorated just sleeping all day by Sunday was very confused. Monday morning even more confused had wet herself and breathing was very shallow. So she got put in to the hospice unfortunately she isn't ever going to go back home my aunty doesn't know this as she didnt want to know how long Shen had and didn't want to know when she was close to dying. The doctors at the hospice have said they won't drain the fluid as I point so sooner than later that could kill her. Also today she is so confused and now started hallucinating doctors have said she has not got long. Just wondering how long??? Did anyone else's loved ones get these symptoms before dying and how long before???? They have said they think it because it's now spread to the brain. It's just happened so quick all this in just over a month She's only 38 she's my bestfriend my hearts broken.
