I lost my mum to cancer at 55 years old it was such a shock as no real symptoms Untill the last 2 weeks where she was breathless,tired and vacant at times. She went to the doctors a numerous times in the last few weeks where they prescribed her anti biotics for a chest infection how ever it was fluid in the lungs. I am glad that she wasn't aware as I think it would of been harder for her and she would not of been as happy and relaxed in her last weeks how ever I am quite concerned that despite X-rays and blood tests it wasn't found and only found due to postmortem. It is the second time she has had cancer she had Breast cancer 15 years ago. Should they not receive regular check ups which could of prevented it spreading so much ?
