Im really not sure if it is small cell or non-small cell. But after it has spread to your liver, and to your bones, does it really make much difference? Her and my Grandpa seem to sugar-coat things a lot. She doesn't want to be felt sorry for. I just found out yesterday that she can hardly walk on her own, and she has been hospitalized 3 times. When the Doctor told her it was in her bones, she said "So I've pretty much had it"......he told her Yes.....gave her some pain prescriptions, and sent her home. I think she may refuse treatment, because her Mom died of breast cancer, and really suffered from the ill side effects of treatments in her last few months. She has said she wants to feel as good as she can, while she can, but she is in so much pain. Should she just take the oxy contin, and just wait to die, or is there a doctor in the country that could perhaps treat such a dire prognosis? J

My grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer, and at first, we were all hopeful. The doctor said it was in the early stages, and completely treatable. Now we find out that it is in her liver, and in her bones, from what I've been told, going into her skull. Is there any treatment that might be effective, or is she basically just waiting to die? I just found out she is having a hard time walking, and Im really worried. She was SO active until recently, I thought she would out live the entire family.....now, I'm Not so sure Thanks, J
