My mom is again hospitalised. She was brought to the hospital after having difficulty breathing. Her right lung was flooded with fluid and in the last 2 weeks she had fluid drained twice. Two days back from a CT scan the doctor found a growth at the back of the right lung and the back rib cracked. She often have difficulty breathing. She is now bedridden. Feeding is through her nose. Before seeing the lump from the CT scan the doctors had her on antibiotics for many days. Blood test had ESR very high and WBC high. Cancer marker was negative. Examination of drained fluid found no cancer cells. One small piece of flesh came out with the fluid from her lung. The tube to drain her fluid was very small and we couldn't figure out how that piece of flesh could go through the tube.

When I was told of the lump at her back I started her on silicea 6C and after 10 days of the remedy she had difficulty breathing and has a lot of mucous in her lung and throat. All homoeopathic remedy was stopped.

My mom now is quite weak and there is little or nothing that doctor could do or want to do. Biopsy or surgery to remove the lump, for her condition is not advisable and we concur.

Is there something that homoeopathy could help with her condition. The lump, I think is a result of the crack in the rib but doctor said it could be the growth that had caused the crack. We don't know for certain. But her breathing is laboured quite often. After the fluid in her lung is drained she often feels better and breath easier but a few days later the fluid would return.

Any suggestion is welcome. All responsibilities are mine to bear. I'm looking for suggestions. And if there is none is there something that I could give her to let her rest easy ?

With grateful thanks.
