Lung cancer stage 4

Hi everyone 

new on here, I suppose no one likes to post on here. My mum has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer which has spread to her lymph nodes. That was in September. 
I have no idea what stage she is at. I have been tlold she only has 9-12 months max. 
 
my mum has very little energy, won't leave the house. 
she has a bad cough, and is now complaining of pains in her stomach. 
she has lost her appetite the past few weeks and is losing ally of weight. 
can anyone help and tell me what's ahead of me? What stage re we at, is it months or are we down to weeks. 
I see a difference in my mum and I'm so scared. 
 

thank you to anyone that reads this. 

  • Hello Cassiebelle

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis. It's obviously a very difficult time for you all. 

    Does Mum have anyone supporting her at home? A nurse team or her GP? They would be the people best placed to answer your questions about Mum's current state of health. 

    If not then you're welcome to call our team of nurses who will be able to offer some support and advice. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that you're able to find the answers and support you're looking for. 

    Best wishes,
