Lung Cancer Mets

long-term pain for the back-type pain felt again around tailbone end June 2008. Diagnosed in late August-radiation began in mid-September, it Shourl CXhemo? The pain is immense

Pain control is paramount in this situation. This is possible Hospice - if malignant disease is also claimed that described. I have not seen this person. I do not know the tumor in the lungs, brain and liver. His doctors know his case better than we can know on the Internet. Hospice situations involving people expected survivals less than six months. liver damage usually means less than six months, but each person is different and this person could do better than the averages suggest.
Spleen is an unusual location for metastases from lung cancer in non-small. Are you sure the spleen is involved?
Chemotherapy is not a remedy for these situations. In some cases it may do more harm than good for this type of cancer at this stage of my experience over 20 years as a cancer specialist MD. This will be for patients and their doctors decide to try a chemotherapy for palliative care to maybe buy a few extra months of survival time. The advantages and disadvantages are very close to canceling each other out in this situation.

This is not great but there is always hope.

I really work on getting on top of her pain.

Chemo will be him and his doctors. I have a cancer with different foods and when we decided on quality rather than quantity of time I stayed on an oral chemotherapy that I could do from home. I have never heal, but hopefully slow things down, and it helps me mentally to know that I'm doing something really fight. I also had radiotherapy for palliative purposes in an attempt to reduce pain.

Is Dilaudid and / or oxy? An anti-pain of others has been for me is the fentanyl in a patch Duragesic - is this an option?

Feel free to send an e-mail if you / he never wanted to talk.

My sister passed last June from NSCLC which propagate in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid. She was diagnosed in 2002, and had a good long stroke. Once in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid, it went quickly. She tried a drop of chemo for the cerebrospinal fluid and influence of his brain tumor, but both treatments were not all good and left his feeling of weakness and fatigue. Depending on how the patient feels, my personal view on this point, I would not do chemo. I think it accelerates the adoption. Try palliative drugs for pain. I know it's a difficult time ....

Chemo is not the easiest time past. spreedog has excellent response. It is always difficult, but each decision.
