Hello everyone. My mum was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer in the middle of October and although initially we had hope that chemo might help, we were told last week that she is just too ill to go through it and the prognosis is 6-12 months. I’ve seen her go downhill so quickly in just the few weeks that we’ve known about this horrendous news and fear that she will leave us before then. This might sound like a strange question- but how will I know that she’s nearing the end? How bad will it get? The diagnosis came a week after I was offered my new job and I’ve pre-warned them that I’m going to need to cut my hours at some point. Sending love to you all on this nightmare journey.
