My mom was in & out of the hospital and rehab for 4 months. When she had shortness of breath, the dr said "anxiety" When that led to not being able to walk, they found a blood clot in her lung & leg. When pain in her ribs was unbearable, dr said it was muscle b/c she lost a lot of weight. Got her to new dr and hospital on Monday, found egg sized tumor on lung (visible under skin). On Wed, dx with stage 4 lung cancer which spread to lymph nodes, ribs and bones. She died 6 days later.
