Thanks for the reply. More info on my wife.. Her health started to decline in '92 uclerated stomach. she had 3 procedures to try and fix this, none worked. In 1999 she had her stomach removed do to ulcers and has been battleing with malnutrition ever since. Aug 05 she had a feeding tube put in and started recieving nightly feeds through this. Things were looking up. Last month started to feel like she was getting a chest cold, visited the doctors and did the chest x-ray, 2 days later was ordered to get a pet scan. 2 days later was admitted to the hospital for malnutrion and dehydration then came the news about the cancer.... Since she battles malnutional problems constantly she is not a good canidate for surgery at this time. She has a 5cm tumor lower left lobe of the lung and the pet scan also illuminated the lymphnodes in the middle of the chest. We were told that it is the Squamous cell type of lung cancer, and rad therapy w/sm dose of chemo is the best option at this time. She is scheduled for some more ct scans/bloodwork this wk and then start the therapy. Not sure if this is what you are asking. But it is all I know at this time. If there are other things I should know please tell me so I can find them out.
Thanks
