My mother in law was blue lighted into hospital on Xmas day, we thought a TIA. She was scanned and has been diagnose with grade 4 lung cancer and brain metastasis (4 of them).

Mdt meeting pending but she is already been weaned off her steroids and anit seziour medication. We have no clue what to expect as a family and how to plan and go forward with care. 

My mother in law wants to know as little as possible but we need to know . 

Please help 

  • Hi 11 MUZ welcome to the forum. I am so sorry to hear your news you must all be in total shock at this news. Are any of her family her Next of Kin or have Power of Attorney for her? The reason I ask is because the hospital could possibly speak to these people provided they are aware of this.

    Someone really does need to have a conversation with the Team to ask as they have to respect your Mother in Laws wishes not to know.

    Sorry not to have been of much practical help here but it really does need to have  a chat with the hospital to share what they know at this point.
