My mom died of Lung cancer ... In the end she was so sick and throwing up into a garbage bag I finally asked her to stop the Chemo ... she died in the hospital .. Her last 2 days she was in and out ... Our entire family was there for her ... she would be with us for awhile then shed drift off into her own world ... she slipped into a coma the last 12 hours as her system started to shut down ... she went quietly in her sleep ... It was harder watching her day after day going thru this horrible thing and when it was over a feeling of peace came over me .. she was out of pain and with her Father in Heaven ...

Usually because of the lack of oxygen to the body all the systems shut down, but everyone is different. If you are family you can ask your doctor what to expect, and get some support from a cancer group.

I had a close hand experience with this. Kinda bad. Not really sure if I should say. But, with this person, and they are probably all different, he had very labored breathing the last couple of days. Then on the last day, he was 'gurgeling" when breathing. So, in other words, he was drowning in his own fluids. He was unconcious the whole time. Then, he just stopped. And that was it for my cousin. Rest in peace Chuck!

Depends on how the cancer spreads. Sorry, but no matter what goes first, dying from cancer is a hard way to go. If it's you or a loved one, then I am sorry.
