My mother has lung cancer they have said its a stage 4. She only had half a treatment,she couldnt recieve her second one because her platelets are low. She waited another 2 weeks and her blood is not back to normal to recieve chemo, they sent her to the hospital to recieve a blood transfusion. I feel like it has been set back after set back,is this normal. Should I still think positive or am I fooling myself. I am still thinking positive but its becoming harder and harder.

    where does your mum have her cancer? you should always stay positive of both yourself and your mum. my dad couldnt have chemo once because of his blood been low so they gave him some injection into his stomach to help and it did.
