I hope that your total faith in your God will not disappoint you. Please, please get more pain meds though even if you do not want to get any further treatments. The last thing that you do not want to see is your mom in horrible pain. I wish you and your family and your mom peace in the time ahead. If you need further help do not hesitate to let us know. We only want the best for your family.

I have had 2 lung cancers in my upper left lung that were caught early enough and taken our with surgery and radiation that I had no pain. But I can see why she has pain. Her lesions ate growing and it will cause her more and more pain.

Sorry to jump in so late but I had seen your question earlier when I didn't have time to respond. I wanted to pass along something in response to your question on diet. In March I was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma that was able to be removed surgically, but since it involved one lymph node they also recommended and I opted for 4 rounds of follow-up chemo. Before everything was lined up I pulled up info on Amish Healer Solomon Wickey and his Healing Plan diet that my fiance remembered from when his father had cancer 20 years ago. It was quite well known at the time in our area since he lived in our State and many people around personally knew people who were helped. I went as far as making sure my oncologist didn't see any red flags with the plan and bought the ingredients but only followed it for 2 days. Once I knew I was scheduled for surgery I fell back on comfort food during the days before surgery, to be honest. But, since it sounded like the type of info you were seeking I wanted you to know that if you Google him you should be able to see what you think. I just checked and found what I think was the most helpful site I had found in the Spring- lovehomeandhealth.com. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Hi @bluelagoon, healthy diets can support healing. You were wise to consult your oncologist to ensure that the diet plan didn't raise any red flags. Many cancer centers include dietitians in the cancer team. They are an amazing resource when people have questions about healthy diets and also about getting good nutrition when cancer treatments may make a challenge to get enough calories or cause unwanted weight gain.
