Is anyone caring for someone with terminal lung cancer?


My mom has terminal lung cancer and is on 24 hr oxygen. It gets difficult at times when I remember how she used to travel and was always on the go. Now there's nothing that she can do without getting short of breath. I'm sad all of the time. I don't know how I can function as well as I do at work. I just go through the motions.
My dad has liver cancer and his chemo seems to be working pretty well. Is there some type of support group for people in my situation? I would like to hear from anyone that's experiencing or has experienced this situation,or anyone that can make me feel better. I'm in my fourties and so is my sister. My sister stays with Mom while I'm at work and I take over from there.
There's a nurse that comes at Noon on Saturdays and stays there until Noon Sunday. That helps quite a bit.We are devastated.

God bless you and your family. There is support groups out there, check with the hospitals and churches in your area. I don't think anyone can understand your situation unless they have been there. Good luck

Try getting some medical marijuana for her
Dont let her smoke it, learn how to cook it and make food with it. You have to cook it with butter first for like 35-45 mins on a rolling boil
