My mom was just diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic small cell lung cancer. What should I expect? - small cell lung cancer and hip pain blog
The doctor gave him a few days, maybe two months. It has spread to the lungs (both) are full of tumors to the bone (tumors of the hip and pelvis, lower back) and brain (tumor, the total size of the left side of his brain with a shift of the center line is extended swelling and death of brain tissue). We do not have to contend with the treatment because it is so fragile now. I have many questions, but my major - what I can expect and how long should I expect from me? Now she is in a good mood, good mood to get up for the most part, still able to walk alone and to the toilet (which is actually an improvement, but the time you are exhausted in bed). It's getting to be childishBehavior and is sometimes confused sometimes, but for the most part is very consistent. She is in pain, particularly of the hip and back sometimes, and if it is unbearable, but not all the time.
