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

by Symptom Advice on February 12, 2011

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

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.

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

-If you change the type of cancer you can show more attractive scenes in movie

Yes that's pretty much right.
