Hi guys,
So it's been a rough year to say the least. My mum was diagnosed with non small cell ling cancer back in June 2022. She has gone through radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Unfortunately both made her very unwell. She ended up with pneumonia, her lung collapsed and they decided to stop the treatmenent. After this she tried immunotherapy. After coming up with a rash and nearly dying they stopped treatment. They also found a hole in her throat so she doesn't eat or drink she is fed through a tube that goes to her stomach. So basically yeah. We were told back in Decemember that she only had 3 months to live. This was prior to her nearly dying from treatment. They didn't give her another scan however back in December which I found really strange. She seems to be doing well but will not offer her anymore treatment although her doctor feels that they got it wrong due to how well she is looking and doing. Has anyone else been through something similar? We have literally had to book and pay for a private scan for her because the doctors just won't scan her again although she hasn't been scanned since they first found out. I feel like the system is letting her down a bit? Thank you
