Hi I’m new to this but just after some advice, my mum was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer at the beginning of November, she had been poorly and the doctor said she had an ear infection I went and found her collapsed on the floor to cut a long story short turns out she had a brain tumour bf while they scanned her they found out she had lung cancer, the lung cancer is the primary.
she was told that the removal of the brain tumour was a success and although they could not cure her lung cancer they can treat it, the last two weeks her mood has really took a dip, we went to the hospital last week hoping we would know what treatment to be given although her results from the brain tumour wasn’t back and not sure if this has had an effect, she has not got dressed and not left the house.
me and my sister are really struggling at seeing her give up so easy it’s like She has lost all fight. Just wondered if anyone got any advice on how to deal with this x
Hi raggyann and welcome to the group, however I am so sorry to hear of your mum. That must of been such an awful shock for you to find your mum collapsed like that, and then for the devastating cancer diagnoses. The good news is that the brain surgery was a success. I’m sure your mum must be shocked by all that has happened, and is in limbo waiting to hear of the treatment plan. Can I point you in the direction of a couple of places you can get support. You can join the Carers Only - Discussion Forum and also the Family and friends - Discussion Forum where there are many people in a similar position to yourself. You can also access the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 from 8am to 8pm 7 days a week.
I hope this helps, take care.
