So very sorry for your loss and how quick it happened for you all. Tumour growth is dependent on a good blood supply and sends out signals to form blood vessels, the link below from cancer research UK explains this if you wish to look at it: You could perhaps discuss this with your GP or Specialist.

I feel your pain my mother passed on Saturday night very suddenly with lung cancer and brain mets she didn’t follow the course we expected. She was sat up eating and drinking as normal on Wednesday night and then became agitated through the night and eventually went to sleep late on Saturday. 4 months from start to finish is just too quick. To say I’m broken is an understatement!!!

[justshight84 in reply to Hidden]

Broken for you hun..the 6 weeks radiotherapy was ment to get rid of it...she had done a online food shop the night before...wrote a list of meals for the week cos her appetite had picked up...so for my sister who still lives home to go down stairs cos I phoned to wake her to say I can't get a reply from to find her gone...is too much to cope with..the shopping came that day she had got my 30year old sister a advent calender..😭

[Hidden in reply to justshight84]

Bless you that is heartbreaking 😪 she didn’t suffer and go through the humiliating end that some have to go through where they stop eating and drinking and go into a coma state which is what we were expecting. It will never be easy and I think we are all in denial and hope for a miracle. Take care xxx

Hi

I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mum to lung cancer too this year on October 15th. Although she was diagnosed a year ago her death was very sudden and unexpected. I’ve also struggled to get my head around why this happened to my mum and why the treatment didn’t stop the cancer or slow it down.

I can’t tell you that it gets easier - I miss my mum every single day and I still have a cry most days but for me there is some comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering or in any pain. I am starting to get back to a new “normal”.

I know it maybe doesn’t feel like it now but you will get through this. Just take each day as it comes, cry when you need to!

I hope you manage to get the answers to your questions about the cancer growing too!

Take care X

Thank you for your kind words..had appointment with funeral directors this afternoon so head is swamped at the moment..

[susieanna]

My deepest empathy to you and the family; i know how you feel; just lost my partner. xxx

[justshight84 in reply to susieanna]

So sorry..the hurt is awful...dont think it will ever go away..just have to learn to live with it I suppose.so hard watching my children hurt and there is nothing I can do.x

[susieanna in reply to justshight84]

I know; it really is; i have this lost sort of feeling amongst everything else; they say time heals; we will never get over the loss, but somehow eventually, i hope, learn to live with it. Not easy at all, i know; warmest wishes sent your way xxx

[Glynn2890]

I am so sorry. I lost the love of my life from lung cancer. I hate cancer. Our countries need to get together & fight this War!! Take care my darling ♥️

[susieanna]

id like to know how much research is going into lung cancer/ treatments; i feel its not as much as other cancers/ and also no screening at all/ the NHS should give people PET scans; in the long run this would save money and save more lives; its a miracle to even get referred anywhere these days.

[justshight84 in reply to susieanna]

Once we have had the funeral I need a appointment with mum's consultant because there are a few questions I want answerd there was a 3 month gap where they kept changing her treatment plan...plus we were never warned that this could happen i.e the Tumor growing into a main artery...surely 6 weeks of radiotherapy should have stopped or slowed down it growing...i know it will not change the outcome but just need to know .xx
