Anyone with lungs mets?

Hi Nala66 

I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet, so I've searched the group for previous posts which mention the word 'lung' and found these for you to have a look through.

Hi Nala

I have secondary breast cancer with mets in lungs and bones. I have regular lung drains, just had one today! They usually take about a litre off. This time I was able to wait 2 months as the treatment seems to be working. I’m on Palbociclib and anastrozole. I have not been that breathless since first lung drain. Are they doing any drains? I’m assuming that the breathlessness is due to fluid in the lining of your lung? Can I ask why you aren’t being given treatment ? I can’t comment on the tips from your hospice nurse but I have heard only good things about the hospice staff generally. 
Good luck anyway and let us know how you’re getting on

Hi,

Thanks for your reply , at this stage the treatment won't make a difference,  the main tumour is sitting I'm the bronchi stopping oxygen getting to the lobes and I o lying have 1 and a quarter lobe working thats why I cough and I'm breathless,  no one as said anything about fluid or drains .

Oh I see Nala, I’m sorry, I jumped to conclusions. That doesn’t sound great! Hope the breathing tips help you. Let us know how you get on and come and join the incurables group if you feel like having some more support.
