if there is a doctor who can help me please,i dont want to call my oncologist over someting that may be stupid,and its hard to tell anymore whats the cancer and whats noti am not depressed,just anxiety which i take medication for,I am 38 and incurable non surgical and on pallitive care since the start of my treatment.and exactly what does quality of life mean,for howeven long i have left?and i still want to know how long that is,they say hopefully 2 yrs.but im young and i think i can beat that.the only fear i have is what is it like to die from lung cancer.cant seem to find any answers on thaqt just circles around the topic.lol
guess i wouldnt want to answer either

I have stage iv metastic lung cancer,to my 9th vertibrea,i feel its spread further in my back as i have the same pains elsewhere.Right now my tretment is at a point where it was shrinking,but now its not soing anything,my own worst fears tell me the med avastin is about to stop working.not scared about that,ill just have to shave my head again.my prob;em is i cant move anyomre,it takes me 15 20 min before im able to move enough to get out of bed.then there are days when the stiffness is bad enough i sit in my chair all day.to much pain from stiffness to move.other days its a couple of pain pills and a couple hours.
I have had trouble sleeping all night in the past,but lately i cannot sleep at all.last night i got 1 hr of sleep and that wasnt until i took my daughter to school.im at it again tonight.im tired i want to sleep have already taken a sleeping pill,not helping.im in pain and im not comfprtable.and just cannot fall asleepand stay that way.i have hot flashes,nausea.
i take 100 mg fentinyl over 72 hr and 10/325 mg percocet also.this combo works pretty well to control it.
it isnt really the pain keeping me up,just when i wake,ive gone stiff even in the arms,and i notice the pain.
my problem it whats with the ,what the word when you cant sleep?I forget stupid stuff like that sometimes,its my fog.
i love to sleep i need it and i cant get it these days.
what am i supossed to so?im so tired all of thetime.did i mention i took sleepig pills and they did not work,not just this once either,been like 4 ties so far.

please help is this normala/or what do i do
