Welcome to the forum Pokaa although I'm sorry to read about your mother's diagnosis and how she's acting at the moment.

It must be very frustrating when no-one is telling you anything. Her medical team may be waiting until they get the results from her latest test before committing to saying why your mother may be behaving this way. I'm not sure when your mum is getting her results but I hope you don't have too much longer to wait and are finally able to get some answers when the time comes.

We have a few members that have been in similar situations with their parents and loved ones and hopefully some of them will reply when they can to share their experiences and advice. Our cancer nurses are just a phone call away as well if you'd like to chat to them about this. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

Best wishes to you both,

Hi,  I'm new here too. My 70 year old mum was diagnosed a week ago based on CT Scan with lung cancer. She's having the biopsy tomorrow to confirm what is going on exactly. Although she doesn't seem to be in the same state as yours she is confused, and sleeping a lot. I think the lack of oxygen has had a huge impact. Luckily they've delivered oxygen to her house, so she seems a little more compus mentus (not sure of spelling). Maybe once your mums doctors know more they'll be able to help out with all her symptoms better.

will keep you posted if I learn anything about the sleepiness, and if that is a worrying sign.
