Hi, im new here, my mum has recently being diagnosed with lung cancer which has spread to lymph nodes, she cant have treatment as she has severe copd and it would be too dangerous,  she has been given months to live, since then she has been put on a maintenance dose of steroids, now she looks completely well and I cant get my head round that she is dying when she is doing so well.

Does anyone have any experience of this and how long are we looking at before the steroid effects start to wane?
