Mom lung cancer

Hi, 

My mom was diagnosed with stage 3b /4 lung cancer, spread to chest wall and other lung, right mass being 5cm not sure on left lung.

They arent giving her chemo as she is currently 5 stone and has copd. 

They havent given us much information, just she has months and sent pallative care out day after diagnosis, she doesn't seem much different just being breathless and not really mobile now ie cant get the toilet, just womdering on other peoples experiences with this, what am i looing for with deteriation ect please.

She is sleeping a little more, but i wouldnt consider her palliative. 

Thanks for any information.

Also they couldnt do biopsy properly as the tumour was bleeding so much

  • Hi, 

    im Interested to hear about this.. my mom was diagnosed with stage 2b bile duct cancer they took the tumour and she started chemo, however she was then told that she has pneumonia and infection. It has been 6 weeks in hospital with very little mobility and doctors thinking it's lung cancer but unable to do biopsy. 
    it is such a limbo land right now as no one is confirming cancer but we don't see a positive end..
