Hi all, I've posted here before. My mum has 4b lung cancer with brain mets. 5 days of radiotherapy helped greatly with the back pain but she has had a series of seizures and is now in hospital. A scan has revealed that there has been a deterioration in her brain. I'm devastated as she was doing so well. It takes all my energy not to get upset when I'm with her and my drive home each night is where it all comes out.

Time isn't on our side anymore. We both feel that and are both scared of what is to come next.

I feel so upset. But at the same time just want to scream as I'm so angry that I'm going to lose my mum. My poor mum.

I am so sorry. This is so very unfair and I wish there was a way to lessen the pain for you both. I’m just very sorry. I’m a stranger but I’m sending you love and prayers for a respite from pain and anger even though all of those feelings are very valid.

Sending you lots of hugs and prayers. I totally understand what you are going through. My mum has the same condition which has now spread to the lining of her brain. She was doing really well but the last few days is in agony and vomiting every time she tries to eat. Such a cruel disease and I like you are in tears most of the time knowing the prognosis is not good and we will lose her. Hope you have a good support network of family and friends who can help you emotionally during this tough time xxx
