Thank you all for the info and inspiration. I am trying to encourage my mother in law to come on here and see that there are people with positive outlooks in similar situations. I did reply to all of your posts--I didn't mean to send them private mess. but thank you for reading and responding I will keep everyone posted on her and her results. Thank you all very much!! And you all will be in my prayers as well.

Joe, Thank you for the info. Really any info is helpful because we are new to this also. It's nice to be able to talk to people with personal experiences that are similar to ours. Thank you Amy

My mother in law is 45 and was diagnosed with stage IV Adenocarcinoma of the lung and has spread to the brain. She was diagnosed about a month ago. This was found on one of her yearly CT scans as she had breast cancer 5 years ago. She has started rediation and had a port put in for chemo that she will begin 12-15. I was wondering if someone could help with what to expect. My mother and father in law have 3 sons and I am the only daughter in law. Therefore they are leaning on me a lot for care and support. I wanted to know if she will likely be on chemo for a long time or if it would be similar to her breast cancer and only do it for 8 weeks? I have seen the prognosis and stats and so has my husband and father in law. The doctors are not telling us much. So any inspiration is much apreciated.
