Depends somewhat on where the lung cancer has spread
– brain, liver, bones, adrenal glands, etc.
But weight loss is very common along with progressive weakness, more and more time spent in bed, and lastly decreasing awareness and irregular breathing.
Most people who die with end stage malignancies are not awake and aware at the end. This is not just the pain medications they may be taking. It is part of the cancer process and it is merciful in a way.
