Hello.
My mum has lung cancer in both lung and 3 brain tumours. Currently 5 spine fractures and maybe a rib
Similar to last post but need to get it off my chest. So on the 3rd of August my mum was taken to hospital. I was told that day she has months left. Came home 5 days later and declined. Last week the MacMillan nurse said she thinks weeks now.
I can tell mum is worse with her lungs due to her being breathless more frequently and saying she feels like she has tight bra on which is nipping her (she doesn't wear bras). She's also starting to get slight headaches. Meds have been changed as of today.
Mum is still as normal (before she went in hospital). Apart from the breathlessness. She's still getting up and moving around. She is sleeping a bit more but I can't decide if it's down to the medication or her deteriorating. My mum's a real trooper and I couldn't be prouder.
But to me it does seem like she's got longer than weeks. But like I said on last post. How many weeks are meant by weeks. Iv read stories about drs being wrong and people living longer than expected. But mums MacMillan nurse has always been truly honest with me and I know she will have seen similar to mum so surely shes right?
