My mum in law has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Had one bout of chemo about 6 weeks ago and hasn't yet been well enough for the 2nd due soon. Biggest issue is not being able to breath any suggestions.
Hi Sky250 welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. Sorry to hear that your mum in law has not been well enough to have her 2nd chemo. There are breathing exercises that your mum in law may be able to do to help with her breathing. She will need to speak to her lung nurse about this. She would of been assigned a lung nurse when she was first diagnosed, and would of been given a contact number for her.
You can also call the support line 7 days a week from 8am until 8pm on 0808 808 00 00
