Im enquiring about a friend, who has recently been diagonsed with ovarian and now cerviacl cancer aswell (age 18). She has adopted the resolution of pretending nothing is wrong. The last few days she has gotten worse and I am wondering if these could be indications of a worsening condition (whilst they probably are she is refusing to go to a docter).
While it is not for the whole day, for irregular periods through out the day she will faint repeatedly (losing consiousness, eyes rolled back in head for anwhere for 2-20secconds, then fall unconsious again right after-this can go on once or twice or continually over the space of hours) Some times the faint is accompanied with shaking (from mild to very violent) which I imagine is some kind of seziure. She also coughs and spews up blood.
These events, seem to be worse at night and about all I have been able to do is make sure she doesn't choke on her toungue or knock herself out when she faints.---she has no recollection of the night time events which r more surveer and last for most of the night which makes it harder to convince her to go to the docter. She also suffers from sleep walking and seems to have limited recognition that these events take place although I can assure you, they do.
