Hello to one and all, this is the first time of doing anything like this so am a bit confused by it all. I joined the site as my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer in december 2009, and things have been deteriorating quite quickly, she has already had a stent inserted to superior vena cava and also one into her right brochus, she has had fluid drained off her lung, and has been given a one off dose of radiotherapy, which is the only treatment they can offer as she is already to weak to have chemo. she is now on oxygen, and taking regular oromorph and steriods to help with the breathlessness which is quite distressing to us all at times. She is currently be cared for at home by my dad and me, with the help and support of the rest of the family. Sounds quite distressing really but she gives us a laugh as her memory is very poor now and she says the funniest things, then laughs at herself as she realises what she has said. Enough rambling for now but thanks for the opportunity to get connected to others is similar situations, speak again soon :))
