Has anyone any experience of this? The biopsy confirmed this is the non small cell type my mum has (specifically exon 14 skipping mutation). She has only been diagnosed 4 weeks ago and has deteriorated rapidly. Unfortunately canver has spread to her lymph node and spine. She has only started feeling pain in the last week but it's so difficult for her to move.
There is talk about targeted therapy but they are unsure whether my mum is fit enough.
Any help welcomed. Its heartbreaking for our family.
Hi Roseeee I am sorry to hear about your mums diagnoses. I know how devastating this will be for all of the family.
I noticed in a previous post that you mentioned radiotherapy. Is this no longer an option?
Does she have a pain management plan in place? Please do make her medical team aware of the pain if you haven’t done so already.
