Hello Everyone,


I am writing on behalf of my mother Mrs.Neelam Singh. She has been recently diagnosed for Adenocarcinoma stage 4 lung cancer. The disease has been metastasised to her brain and heart. Rest of her body parts are alright. She is also suffering from progressive systemic scelerosis which developed into pulmonary progressive systemic scelerosis. Recently with in couple of months her body immunity went too down and it turned out to be Malignant cancer. We had shown previously oncologist he had treated her with high level of carboplantin and paciltexal combination.This had cause acute respiratory distress. For that she was admitted in other hospital for pulmonlogy check-up they also adviced she is unfit for chemotherapy and oncologist in that hospital suggest to let her die in four mths because her oxygen saturation level not normal and they can persue chemotherapy because she is not ideal candidate.

Please advice what we can do about it ?
