My grams was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer with metastasis. 16 years ago she had surgery to remove the then small tumor on the lung. For the past several months she has lost a lot of weight, always in pain on that same side the surgery was, not eating right, short of breath, etc. It seems that in the past 2-3 weeks things have gone really down hill. She is now in the hospital being treated for pneumonia as of this morning. A scan of her chest last week revealed a large amount of fluid build up as well - she has been given morphine and felt good enough to actually eat, which she has hardly done in days and is now resting. When she had the surgery 16 years ago i was too young to be as involved as i am now and i didnt really have the internet etc - i guess my question is, does anyone have any experience with this on this level? If so, can you offer any advice? Any and all is appreciated -View Thread
