Primary Lung cancer, spread to liver and spleen

Hi, My Mum has been told in A&E when just having bloods to see if she was anemic initially tat she has a primary lung cancer and lesions in liver nad spleen, this is not helped with multiple blood clots in lungs also. Treatment for the clots as started but we are currently in the periodof waiting for MDT meeting findings to know a plan. So within 8 hours we went from anemic to death sentance as far as I am concerned. Any advise or persons experiencing similar? I have been here before with best friend and partner so feel very knowledgable in one way but lost in so many. 

I am assuming paliative care will be the only option but feel guilty for being so negative, not that I have shared this with her obviously.

  • Hello Paddy2012, 

    What a shock it must have been for you to learn that your mum has primary lung cancer that has spread to her liver and spleen. I hope you find out soon what the treatment plan is. You can find out more on our website about advanced lung cancer and about treatment options for advanced cancer. It's normal to feel lost at the moment and I hope that you get some answers soon once the MDT meeting has taken place. 

    I hope that you will hear from others who have experienced this before and that they will share their story with you. It helps to talk to others who understand what you are going through because they have been there themselves. 

    Best wishes,
