Hi. My mum in law (who I'm closer to than my mum) has just been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. There's cells in her lungs but they don't know where the primary is. She was in hospital to reinflate a collapsed lung and they couldn't get it to stay inflated so they did tests and found it. She now has a permanent chest drain fitted because she had fluid build-up causing difficulties breathing after just four days without a drain.
They have just said she has a matter of months but want to do chemo in a couple of weeks.
Thankfully this is my first brush with cancer and my first close brush with death but that means I'm a bit lost and trying to support my wife, who is also in the same position!
