Answers:
I'm incredibly sorry to hear about your Mom!. If the cancer was localized, perhaps the doctors could have treated her with lobectomy (removal of the cancerous part of the lung), radiation & chemotherapy!. If the doctors are saying that it has metastasized, they are saying that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body but you should always seek second & even third professional opinions!. I'm afraid if that is her diagnosis, the only treatment that can be offered is for palliative measures - to offer your Mom relief from pain & offer her comfort, rather than trying to cure for the disease!. The social worker at the hospital should be able to offer few options as to which hospice care you can choose!. Again, I'm incredibly sorry!. Spend quality time with your Mom & tell her how much you love her!. Make the most of your time together with her!. Be brave!. I will pray for your Mom & your family!. God bless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm afraid the prognosis is bleak, the "3-6 month" figure seems accurate based on what I know about lung cancer and it's staging!. Ensure that she has sufficient pain medication (Schedule 2 drugs can't be refilled, but in the US the Dr!. can write multiple Prescriptions for different months so long as it is specified on it), and always hope for the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

One method of hope is in her diet!. You can steward this by doing whatever it takes to get highly needed dietary nutrients into her system to wage the war!. Shopping, cooking, cleaning up, whatever!. Make the process as easy and pleasurable as possible!. Hope this goes without saying ~ heavy on veggies and fruits, red meat and potatoes out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i hope your mum beats the cancer but either way spent time with her and keep her positive becuase sometime lung cancer is very agressive and it makes the person very sick fast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

make her comfortable,contact your local hospice
spend time with her telling everything you always wanted to say but didnt



Good Luck and hugs to you and your MomWww@Answer-Health@Com
