(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))). This must be the toughest thing anyone has to go through but you sound very brave. Don't know what to say but everyone's support is with you.

Dad had seizures recently and was hospitalised. they gave him Manitol and Epsolin to control the seizures and asked for an MRI. The scan revealed that there are FOUR lesions in the brain!! Doctors say there is not much point to doing radiation esp. because they have already done radiation in one spot so cannot give it again. Dad wants it though. He also seems much better since he cam back home than he has been in months! Is this an effect of the medicines? Doctors are saying he has 3 months at the most...but he does not look like someone who is dying...

dad is in supposedly the last stage. they've stopped chemo and everything else. now, he's in a lot of pain - back pain and retching and nausea which is due to lesion in brain. he's also having seizures - lots of them. oh god. i just don't want him to be in so much pain. what comes next??? can someone please be honest and not give me the hope bullsh**. i get enough of that from the doctors.

this must be tough on you. my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer last year with mets to the brain and they did intensive radiation. he also took chemo for the lung. recently, the lesion in the brain came back. he's been sleeping too much and the docs think it might be the lesion or depression... wish i had some advice to give you but in our case, we're just watching him. praying for you
