Hello, I am new here. My mum has very recently been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer which has mastasised in her brain with 5 tumours. There is no treatment they can safely offer her.
She was told she only has 3 to 6 months to live and we don't know what to expect. Already we have noticed apathy and withdrawal and a lack of emotions.
We are struggling with how quick this is changing her and what we can do to make her more comfy.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
