I'm new here. My mum has stage 4 small cell extensive lung cancer. We had the oncologist appointment and they said they can't do chemo or radiotherapy for my mum as her cancer is evading her major blood vessels and if she had therapy that it would cause her to bleed out. We are so heartbroken. They said without treatment she could have up to 4 months. But it all depends on the individual. We all really strugerling with this
