My Grandpa was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer (tumors in both lungs) but they haven’t given him any set time. Does anyone have any idea?
Yes, his doctor doesn’t believe in giving a ‘life expectancy’. Non-small cell lung cancer DOES have 4 stages. I have heard that, with the small amount of chemo he’s receiving once a month, a year is about right.

Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

My best friend has stage 4 colon cancer. She’s only 24 years old. She told me that they are going to start radiation, what does that mean? I read about how they do it, but how bad does it have to be before they do radiation?

Stage 4 Lung Cancer

My grandma just found out she has stage 4 colon cancer. Have you or anyone you know had stage 4 colon cancer and know the survival rates?

Other than the cancer she is failry healthy.

Liver Cancer Treatment

My friend’s Dad has received bad news about liver cancer and she’s having a hard time processing the information.

I’ve looked on google but I cannot find something that simply explains why liver cancer (secondary) is so hard to treat.

Her Dad has two small spots on his liver and feels good but there are no treatments for him left. His CEA is very high (100+). She’s struggling with understanding why two small spots cannot be treated. Anyone have an articles online that explains it?

Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

Besides getting checked out….I mean, how would one even know to get checkd out for it? Cancer runs in my family. My mom had cancer of her thyroid and had to have it removed. The rest of the cancer runs in my “distant” family, such as, my great aunts and cousins. Oh yeah, and both of my grandfathers. I know I am at high risk, consitering I also Smoke. (I do not want to hear people preaching to me about my smoking, either, so please, don’t do it.) So yeah, I was just wondering if one has any symptoms or whatever. P.S. I will be 20 in a coupple of Months.
And I also have no children and I am not pregnant.
