Hi all,
My mother in law was diagnosed with lung cancer 2 weeks ago. She was in hospital with bad head pain and a scan revealed what they believe to be a primary lung tumour that has spread to produce 2 small tumours in her brain. There also may be some spread to the adrenal gland. They have said its stage 4, inoperable and that she will receive palliative care. Has anybody been in a simular situation at all and may be able to give us an idea of how long she may have? Or indeed what these next few months may hold for her? We want to prepare for what we may have to face. She had some biopsies taken yesterday which we are assuming are to find out how aggressive the cancer is but we arent 100% sure. She is to go back next week for results.
Any help would be great.
Thanks all.
