My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 lung nscl cancer which is also spread to secondary lump on her neck. They are only offering pallative care for her. They said that the typical survival period is 6-9 months. My mum seems fine she is not in any pain really. My mum also suffers from korsakoff syndrome so has no real short term memory unless it's repeated over and over.....she remembers she has cancer but at time struggles with the reasons for no treatment and time scales given but is fixated on them. My mum is in a residential care home she is 60. I am just after some advice on what to expect really, is she likely to sudeny drop or will it be something gradual? I know everyone is different but anything at this point would be good I am married but our lives at the moment seem to be revolving around this and I don't want to burden my husband any more than I have.
