Hi everyone I’m new to the group but have been reading many of your stories before joining. My mum has been diagnosed with lung cancer and malignant pleural effusion after becoming breathless and thinking it was a chest infection. They have also found a small bit in her bladder. Not sure what started first. My world has totally collapsed, mum is 82, dad 84 and I’m not stupid to think they will live forever but the prognosis given I’m not ready for. She has had 4 litres of fluid drained over the last few days and the talc process done, she’s back to herself now she can breathe again. She’s been offered palliative radiotherapy, not fit enough to have anything else. I go from being ok to a blubbering wreck. I’m married and have some good friends but why do I feel so alone? Doesn’t help either that I did the one thing I shouldn’t have ... Google!! Thanks for listening xx
Thank you 
they don’t really get any support as they’ve never asked for anything we’ve just got things ourselves, but mum has received some aids for getting around the house since being in hospital. They already had a stairlift and wheelchair that they bought themselves a couple of years back as mum has arthritis. I find I’m better if I’m well informed but will read things here rather than google in future! 
Hello, we are in the exact same situation only behind a bit. Mum 64 thought she had covid or chest infection, she has cancer on her lung that has spread to the pleural cavity, doctors are meeting tuesday to discuss and we will hopefully no more then.
Absolutely terrified as from what i have been reading there is no good news
