We have just last week found out our 87yr old Mam has lung cancer.she's been i. Hospital 10 days with a chest infection but will be discharged today to a nursing home.the doctors have decided it's not good to give treatment as Mam also has other health problems she needs a pacemaker has only one kidney hashimotos diabetes emphysema macular degeneration of both eyes one has a bleed the other wet. she's almost deaf and blind depressed following the death of our brother mam's eldest son from cancer in February and her sister and brother in law in may..we feel quality of life is what we want for mam now .but we are lost don't know what's happening next. doctors don't know how long mam's got they say the cancer is confined to her right lung and there are no secondary but also say it's in her blood.they say she doesn't need palliative care yet .
