Hey,
I can't even believe that I am in here writing this. My mum was admitted to hospital 5 weeks ago following a fall, within 24 hours what we thought was a bad back turned into terminal Lung Cancer that has spread to the spine and bones, now my mum has developed an involuntary spasm, arms and legs mainly, is this normal? Do we need to get her back to the hospice? I don't know what to do, it's awful to watch and scary for her to experience. I'm petrified. I don't know what to do.
Hi katsDixon, I am so sorry to hear about your mum. I know how scary it is to care for someone with cancer.
As this is something new that is happening, and is distressing for mum, I would personally not wait until tomorrow to speak to mums GP but would phone 111 now and they will advise you.
let us know how you get on x
