My 85 year old mum has been diagnosed with lung cancer.She is too old for surgery and was unable to have radiotherapy because she could not reach on the machine She is on a chemotherapy pill (one a day)and she is not doing too good .She is taking oxygen using an oxygen concentrator but her levels drop too low in the evening. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? She also has sleep apnea and I am feeling helpless because she lives abroad .Does anyone have an advice how to massage it and how I can help.I am feeling helpless.Thanks
Hi GL1 sorry to hear about your mum. Does she have anyone at home to help look after her? It must be so very difficult to be so far away whilst she is going through this.
