nancy c Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I LOVE THIS POST--IT HAS HELPED ME LEARN SO MUCH ABOUT CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR LIFE TRIALS. I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION-SOMETHING I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT---THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF BRAIN INVOLVEMENT FROM THE LUNG CANCER EITHER INITIALLY OR EVENTUALLY. DOES ANYONE KNOW THE % RATE OF THAT. JUST WONDERING AND OF COURSE WORRYING --THANKS,PEACE AND LOVE,NANCY C. P.S. THE REASON I AM CONCERNED IS MY HUSBAND HAS DEDICED TO GO OFF HIS CHEMO OF 4 WEEKS SO HE WILL FEEL GOOD FOR OUR DAUGHTER'S WEDDING MAY 14.I UNDERSTAND THAT AND ALSO WANT HIM TO "FEEL GOOD" BUT I WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF THE CANCER.

sharyn Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I strongly urge your husband to discuss a break from Chemo in great depth with his Onc. I know NSCLC is much slower growing than SCLC, but I wouldn't risk any chance without the doctors complete blessing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy RN Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 He needs to really talk with the onco. NSCLC is a slower type of lung cancer than SCLC. You might want to post your questions in the NSCLC forum. The people their and the moderators have more experience with your husbands type of cancer. Good luck, and congrats on the upcoming wedding.
