My mother is 75 and has stage 4 lung cancer and stage 4 COPD . She hasn t had any treatment and about six days ago she started vomiting and became so weak she can barely get on and off the toilet or into bed. Her vomit is often green or black. She things she has the flu but my sister and I feel the cancer is progressing. We are ready for hospice, but she isn t there yet?
