Hi just found out that my mother in law has Stage 4 lung cancer with mets in liver and adrenal glands.  She is 86 years old and it is palliative care only.  Bit of a shock how we found out as she just had a tumble and was taken to hospital as a precaution.  Tests revealed she was severely anaemic and it snowballed from there.  She is a wonderfully strong woman and quite well at the moment.  We don't know long she has left but we aim to make life as comfortable and good as can be.  Just don't want her to suffer.  My mum died of breast cancer in 1985 and suffered terribly.  I nursed her.  I know care has improved since then.  I am also 10 years clear from breast cancer and my husband 9 years after thyroid cancer.  Any advice would be welcomed.
