Recently diagnosed with lung cancer however unfortunately I've had emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis for the past 8yrs, prob longer but that was when I was diagnosed. I cannot have treatment for lung cancer as my lungs are too badly damaged. I have not asked for prognosis yet but I want to. Presently I'm on 3lltr oxygen 24/7 and breathing is going downhill fast. I feel so weak and helpless but I pray in not gonna last for years like this it's not much quality of life but I feel for my family. I just don't know what to do.

    Sorry to hear this, i have no answer, i it was me i would get in touch with the hospice, do not jump to the worst case serrano, they help so much with pain relief if needed, also aromatherapy, i had  reiki which i thoroughly enjoyed  thy help with so many different aspect's of people in our situation, they make  life more comfortably  in many ways, It is worth a phone call. my hubby had them, they where wonderfu, for him and the whole family.
