My mother has lung cancer age 63

Post a new topicby livingwith on Thu Apr 10, 2008 12:40 pm


Hi there, I just learned today from her pulmanary specialist she has stage 3 lung cancer but it could be stage 4 due to the size of the 2 masses in her left lung (almost all of it is full) and they found some on her kidney and possibly the thyroid. She has been sick for awhile…so anyone out there who has diarrea, smokes, has night sweats, looses weight AND has breathing problems such as asthma GET CHECKED!
My mother didnt say a word for almost 6 months….not sure if it would matter b...Read the full article

Hi Tonda,
I just discovered this health forum today, and thought I'd send you and your family prayers.
So far, every lung cancer story I've read here tonight has struck a common chord with the details surrounding my own family's current cancer diagnosis.
Hang in there.
Pray....and thank God for your Mom.
God bless, and good luck, Tonda. Keep us all updated!

TONDA,
MY HUSBAND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE 4 LUNG CANCER THAT SPREAD TO THE BRAIN.. HE HAS HAD 16 RADIATION TREATMENTS AND 1 CHEMO . VERY DEPRESSED BECAUSE HE CAN'T DO THE THINGS HE USED TO DO... DO WE WANT A QUANTITY OF TIME OR QUALITY OF TIME.. HE IS NOW ON OXYGEN ALMOST ALL THE TIME... YESTERDAY HE HAD A BONE SCAN WE ARE WAITING FOR THE RESULTS ON THAT... WHEN MY MOTHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH OVARIAN CANCER I ASKED THE DR IF WE START CHEMO WILL SHE BE ABLE TO GO TO THE STORE OR TO CHURCH, HE SAID NO.. SO WE CHOSE NOT TO PUT HER THRU CHEMO... SHE PASSED AWAY 2 MONTHS LATER.. WITH MY HUSBAND THE DR SAID WITHOUT CHEMO HE WOULD BE GONE IN 2 MONTHS.. BUT HES SUFFERING NOW IN MANY OTHER WAYS.. HONOR YOUR MOTHERS WISH...

PATTIE

My mom has stage 4 lung cancer. She's had chemo. Then decided to do the raw food method. The scans showed it reduced the tumors slightly. The results were better than the chemo She decided she didn't want to stay on the raw food diet. The cancer is growing again. If you want a resource for the raw food diet see Dr. Tom Wu's. He's an md turned holistic practitioner. He himself cured himself of lung cancer His number is [moderator note: contact information has been removed] He travels a lot so he's sometimes hard to get a hold of.
