Does Lung Cancer Result In Difficulty In Breathing And Fatigue?
My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. She developed difficulty breathing and extreme fatigue. A few days ago, she had a fever of 100.1, her oxygen levels were low, and her breathing was extremely difficult. She then started coughing, then vomiting large amounts of blood, and within seconds she died. I am at a loss as to what caused this?

HI
Your mother was suffering from stage 4 lung cancer.
The disease at this stage causes acute respiratory distress alond with bleeding in lungs.
She might have died of asphyxia and blood entering her lungs cutting off oxygen supply.
