Hello everyone.

my name is Pamela.

my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and lung cancer. The breast and lymph under arm was stage three so the focus was dealing with this surgically whilst keeping an eye on the small slow growing lung Timor. Surgery went well and breast was clear but due to waiting waiting and more waiting the lung part which was due to be treated with radiotherapy with a curative outcome, had spread to liver, lymph in chest wall and l4 verterbrae. This was a lot to deal with and very frustrating as it could have been dealt with sooner and contained. That aside mum started chemo therapy and immunotherapy on Monday gone and was staying positive. She has had many temp spikes, hospital admittance and also told it’s spread to bowel and neck of femur even though this was on the pet scan showing the other metastasing as mentioned. Not sure why this only came up and we are all devastated to say the least. Mam has terrible pain in her back along with other side effects and symptoms. She is saying she doesn’t think she can cope with chemo if there’s no great improvement as the side affects have meant lots of admissions and extra problems. Can anyone help with a similar experience of prognosis, and quality of life please. I am scared, worried, anxious and just want to know realistically what we are facing now.

thanks in advance for your help
