When a person has lung cancer does are one of the symptoms before death vomiting blood and shaking of the body


When a person has lung cancer does are one of the symptoms before death vomiting blood and shaking of the body?
I'm writing a movie script and a character in the movie has lung cancer, before she dies so the symptoms seem real what are some examples of symptoms right before death? Would the person shake because of shock or being desperate to call for help? Thanks

All people are different Some would be very quiet and weak and have their eyes shut and look white and say nothing Others may try to talk and shake and be afraid go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer

Stage four is the final stage of lung cancer and it is the most advanced form of lung cancer. It is in this final stage of lung cancer that the cancer metastasized or invaded other areas of the body. Surgery at this stage is not likely recommended, unless it is for a relief of symptoms. However, massive quantities of chemotherapy and different combination of cancer fighting drugs are recommended to relieve some of the pain from the cancer and to possibly prolong the patient’s life span. Symptoms such as extreme fatigue, dry mouth, shortness of breath, joint pain and often pneumonia are just a few of the symptoms which may be seen in the final stages of lung cancer. When the patient is in the final stages of lung cancer it is best to do everything possible to make the patient as comfortable as possible. You have to be an advocate for the patient, ask for what he/she need, and work closely with the physician to find out what works best to help relieve or lessen symptoms… quality of life is an important marker of success in the final stages of lung cancer.

Hola revolutionary - Part of what you write may be true. If the cancer has spread to invade through the wall of an artery and adjacent air passage (such as the trachea or bronchus), the cancer could have eaten away a hole in the artery wall and the final appearance could be a sudden spurt or large flow of blood coming from the trachea into the mouth and out the lips and nose. Before then, the cancer could have greatly reduced breathing of vital air (oxygen) and the patient become quite pale with grayish color skin changes. The only times I have seen shaking of the body connected is when the lung cancer has spread to a certain area of the brain, but then sudden blood vomiting does not happen at the same moment. Good luck with your script.
