MarkC Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 My mom was diagnosed 2 months ago with Stage 4 NSCLC lung cancer that has metastasized to her lymph nodes and spine. She was given 4-6 months without chemo and more like 4-5 realistically. She tried chemo once but was unable to tolerate. I guess my biggest questions have to do with what to expect in the coming weeks and months. She is on oxygen now. Thanks much Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Mark, I’m so very sorry to learn of your mom’s diagnosis. Your question of what to expect in coming months could be best answered by a hospice provider. Once during treatment I faced a similar predicament. My therapy was not arresting my lung cancer. We decided to look into hospice care and we were impressed with the provider and method. I did not enter hospice because a new FDA precision radiation treatment was approved for treatment of my type of lung cancer. But, when I again face an end of life situation, I will engage hospice care. Stay the course. Tom BridgetO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
