Hi there
My mum has small cell lung cancer and was diagnosed in dec 08. They treated her with chemo and radio and managed to clear the lung of the tumour. But after stopping chemo in april another tumour appeared in her neck in june. She's now back on chemo ( a clinical trial) and they have given her months as opposed to years. I too am devastated. She's 52 and i'm 33 my youngest sister is 20. Mum doesn't want to know 'how long' I asked the doc when mum was out of the room as they kept referring to quality of life and time you have left. I wish i didn't know as now all i can do is imagine life without her and how awful it will be. It's so unfair. She's to be scanned in a fortnight but it'll make no difference really as now they can only try to prolong her life with chemo if her body tolerates it. I'm scared of what the next 6/12 months will bring as i don't want to watch her decline.I'm now trying to make every moment count and listen to her and take pictures of her with my baby (he's 6 months old) and keep strong in front of her even though inside im screaming.
Life is cruel.
