Lung and lymph node cancer

My mum was due to start her first 6 week course chemo and radiation yesterday. The Dr wanted to see us before hand. To then inform us her Kidneys wouldn't be able to take the Chemo! (She has Kidney probs too).   So now she is only having Radiation for 6 weeks mon/fri. She has stage 3 bordering stage 4 cancer. What is the likelihood of her getting though this?? She is 63 and now weighs just 7 stone. She is weak..  

Need some advice plse !! X

  • I am sorry to read about your mum having lung cancer. My dad passed frm lung cancer just over  year ago and like your mum, he was initially stage 3, but because of it being in his lymph nodes they changed it to stage 4 and it was terminal. He was not able to have any of the cancer taken out, is this an option for your mum? My dad had the chemo and I honestly wonder if he's of lasted longer had he of not had it as it destroyed his body.

     

    I would speak to her main oncology doctor as only he will know the specific details relating to your mum. I wish her all the best. xxxx

  • Really sorry to hear that.. ️ I will look into talking to her Dr, without her being there. Thank you xxx take care
