My mum had an operation last year to remove part of her lung due to cancer. After chemo more cancer wqas found in her adrenal gland, opposite lung and liver. We have waited weeks for a biopsy of the adrenal gland which happened last week. we see the specialist this coming wednesday. In this time, my mum is now a shadow of herself. She hardly eats, has lost lots of weight, can't walk up the stairs and sleeps all of the time. is this a sign of the end or can we feel hopeful about what can happen next in terms of chemo treatment?
