Hello
My mum has recently been diagnosed with extensive stage 4 small cell lung cancer. We had the oncologist appointment and they said they can't help her with chemo or radiotherapy as the cancer is evading her major blood vessels and the therapy would shrink it and it would leave whole in her blood vessels and cause her to bleed out. They said the cancer is acting as a plug and stopping her from bleeding atm. They said with out treatment she would have 4 months to live. But that's based on the indivual and how quick her deterioration would take. We are so devesated. So heartbroken. I work and I'm trying to help my mum the best I can. I have took some time off work but that's a doc sick note. I can no longer do this as It can not cover my bills. So I need to do my shifts but it so difficult as well as I need to help amd spemd as much time with my mum as well. Me and my husband are really strugerling with everything. My mum is not coping at all as she thought she could be able to fight this. My mum is only 59, I know there's people out there with cancer much younger than this but I can't seem to accept this news.
