mom with NSCL with met to brain

[bugno92]

My mother was diagosed in sept 07 with Lung cancer with mets to brain. she had 15 WBR treatments and 6 rounds of chemo every 3 weeks. her last treatment about a month and half ago. She recently had a scan and it showed no change so the doctor is not going to do anymore treatments because he said it will only make her more sick. She is very weak now. Why wont they continue with treatment I have read where so many people have 3 and 4 differnt chemos. Should I get second opioion?

"bugno92" ...Should I get second opinion?

I believe you should, Robyn. What works for one person doesn't always work for another, and vice versa. Also, some treatments have far fewer side effects than others. Aloha,

Absolutely! A second opinion is always good - esp. in this situation. Good luck

Absolutely and without question...go for a 2nd opinion and a 3rd...keep fighting. My prayers are with you.

Run, don't walk to get another opinion!!!

Bless you for being your mom's advocate. My prayers are with you both.
