My mother was just diagnosed with lung cancer. It is stage IV, in her lung, spine, lumbar vertabrae,hip, pelvis, and femur. I know I don't have long, but am looking for signs to recognize the stages. Right now, it is extremely difficult and painful for her to get up and move around. She can take about 2 steps and uses a camode in the bedroom.
I know that I don't have long with her, but it helps me if I know what is next.
