  1. Does anyone know what cachexia is? Is it a sign of things to come. Doctors are saying that is what my aunt is suffering from. Please help.
  2. I posted a couple of months ago after having lost my uncle to lung cancer. I just found out that my aunt (his sister) has lung metastases. Multiple nodules in both lungs. Doctors are saying that there is a 20% chance that chemo would work. She is only 90 pounds. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Sensitive

    Larry- I can also relate to what you are feeling and I am 33. I lost my uncle to this disease and have become very sensitive and angry. Sending you hugs and prayers.

    First Time Posting

    Thank you for the reply. I was there at the doctor's visit. When he was in the hospital at the end, they said that the tunor was pushing on the trachea. He didnt have other medical issues. But stage 3B is extensive? I am just now learning more about this disease.
  5. I have never posted on this website. I have always read. My uncle was diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer. At the time, the oncologist told is that this was no big deal and they would be able to take care of it. Well, he was diagnosed on March 5, 2006. Four months later, he was in the hospital, having lost about 50 pounds, unable to swallow anything...and very confused. My beloved uncle passed away on July 4, 2006. I have so may questions: why was the oncologist not more honest? has anyone ever had experience with a rapid decline like that? I am so angry and confused. Please help.
