Hi everyone this is my first tme posting or really speaking about my mums diagnosis.8 weeks today we were told my Mum has terminal lung cancer she is 80 years old. The hospital were investigating the reason she had een having really bad diahrea and her weight loss. Before this could be investigated a scan showed advanced lung cancer and breast cancer too although the breast cancer is insignificant. The consultant said going by her scans etc she had about 6-8 weeks. Mum is at home and says she is pain free although she is really thin she says she feels good apart from the fact she has cancer. I am struggling because i feel there is so much we dont know about her illness as a family we are at odds all the time (not infront of our parents)but between my two sisters and our brother.no one can seem to see each others worries ot concerns as valid. Its tearing me apart. My question to you all is as the hospital has said there is no treatment for Mum and she seems ok although I dont see how this can be Is the 8 weeks given likely to be a true expectation they said dont focus on the 3 month mark ut I dont think they think she will see christmas. As I said at the start I am struggling a bit sorry if this seems jumbled. Thanks for your time.
