I know that no-one here can give a definitive answer but MIL isn’t asking the questions and the medics won’t tell us. She’s gatekeeping all info and is very selective on what she tells us.
FIL was diagnosed with stage 1 NSCLC in December. By the time they started treatment in March it had spread to his adrenal gland. He had 3 rounds of immunotherapy and it’s now spread to his liver, jaw, brain and somewhere else she can’t remember. I suspect bowel based on some of his symptoms.
He’s really unwell and is fading away in front of us. He’s been in hospital for 3 weeks now due to extreme weight loss (he’s lost over 1/2 his body weight and is less than 45kg) high calcium levels and now he’s got low potassium. They’re discharging him so he can start chemo.
i know that no-one really knows but if anyone has been in this situation how long did your loved one last once they got to this stage?
TIA
