Stage 4 lung cancer

hello 

 

my mum has been diagnosed with Stage 4 adenocarcinoma of the lung which has spread to her brain. She is starting chemo next month has anyone else had experience with this and what to expect when she has chemo? She’s had no symptoms and has been so well so It’s really going to break my heart seeing her suffer. 

  • Hi Luciep93,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat, though I'm very sorry to learn about what brought you here. We have some general information about chemotherapy here, but a good thing to do is contact your mum's team and get to know them and the treatment they'll be giving her, because it can differ slightly from patient to patient. She may experience some side effects so it's important to keep her team informed of how she reacts. Hopefully some of our members can share their experiences, but I wish your mum the best with her treatment.

    Warm regards,
