Hi Em, 

I'm sorry the doctors aren't being much help at the moment. Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their experiences and advice with you but whilst you wait I just wanted to make you aware of this section on our forum which has information on what to look out for and how to manage symptoms as the time draws near.

Best wishes to you both at this difficult time.

Kind regards,

Hi Em, I am going through this at the moment and have seen a big decline with my mum over the past couple of weeks.  We are getting pain management support from the local hospice and mum's GP.  I would start with your GP and explain your family member needs pain management or, if you have them, our oncology department at the hospital had Macmillan lung cancer nurses and they sorted this out for us.  I hope that helps.  xx  Sending you huge hugs xx  i feel like i am sitting on a time bomb but at least i have that support from the professionals which really does help me and they have been amazing.
