Hard to breathe

I had tcc in kidney, radiotherapy  and apparent cure.  Sudden metastatic lesions in liver  plus fluid in and around lungs. Waiting for liver biopsy.  But I have no treatment at moment although had chest drain 2 weeks ago which hasn't helped. My breathing is really bad,  gp says call ambulance if worried,  she says fluid needs draining if not death could be a couple of weeks.   I'm scared that if I go into hospital  I will die there quickly,  my family away til end of month.  Help please.

  • Hi Susan

    Im saddened to hear there is no further treatment available to you and you are now receiving palliative care. It is a frightening place to be and having to cope with this without your family being around. If you need someone to talk to phone the nurses here 0808 800 4040. Will be thinkig of you today.
