My mum and dad had 2 weeks in Tenerife, came home to where my mum had fatigue but said she felt like that on holiday. But for a couple of years we've been worried about dementia as her memory has been a little different. Took mum to GP regarding her memory but while she was there mentioned her cough and fatigue so listened to chest and she treating for chest infection 5 days penicillin. Returned back after a week as cough till there and SOB GP said she had fluid on her lung and go straight to A&E. Sat in there over 7 hrs had chest xray and they said she had significant amount of fluid. Mum collapsed in A&E blood pressure dropped as the waiting room was busting no where to sit. Finally from 3 pm to 1130 pm got her a bed on EMU made mum comfy and came home. Next morning went back to be told that the chest xray had at least 4 litres of fluid on the R lung so it had collapsed. So was on 2 litres of O2. Doctor came and spoke and mentioned malignancy which I was shocked as they saw nodules on other lung. So awaiting CT, had results back spoke to consultant and it was the worse news ever stage 4 , metastasis of lung but spread to lymph node and liver. My parents are inseparable and I’ve got support from my brother we are a very close family. I want to know if mum can consent to treatment and she understands would treatment be worth it???, as don’t want it to make her that poorly she’s sick and in bed because at the minute she is very well in herself no pain other than weight loss looks good. Just wondering if anyone who has or going through same thing could advice and give some information
many thanks kate.
