Nav Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hi , I know there is not much knowledge in the group about Glomus tumor. My dad is currently on the ventilator due to respiratory distress due to the 10cm in his left lung. They are trying to wean him off ventilator however it’s looks far fetched. They are wanting to extubating him and since he is alert and cognitive we are scared to extubate him. Anyone in similar situation. He wants to live however we are not given any treatment options. What to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Nav, I wish I had some information or suggestions for you. Unfortunately, all I know about Glomus tumors is what I read on Wikipedia. Stay the course. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 They are not suggesting ANY treatment? I would get a second opinion ASAP. Peace Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouT Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 This seems to be such a rare form of cancer it's likely not prioritized for treatment. My prayers for you and your family. I hope they can make your dad as comfortable as possible. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 So sorry to hear that news. I hope he is comfortable. Actually surprised there is absolutely no treatment...or is he to sick for treatment? In my thoughts Peace Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
