Hello All
My Mother was dx with extensive sclc with mets in her liver one year ago. She had chemo (did well) radiation (did well) but then it was discovered that she had more than a dozen mets in her brain. Her oncologist tried Whole Brain Radiation and told us she had about 4 months left of life even if the Whole Brain Radiation went well. Two weeks ago she began to have brain seizures. She ended up in the hospital. Now, the Doc has sent us home saying that there is nothing more he can do for my Mom. So we are home now. Since the brain seizures she has been too weak to get out of bed. She sleeps most of the day and when awake is very confused about just about everything.
What I'm wondering is if I should give up and get ready for hospice effect to take over or is there something, ANYTHING I can do to help Mom continue her battle with small cell lung cancer.
Should I let her go, or should I fight?
Her quality of life is absymal at this point.
Please help if you have any ideas.
Thanks so much
