Anyone out there living with stage 4 lung cancer?
Lung Cancer | Last Active: Jan 7 3:52pm | Replies (207)Comment receiving replies
2 weeks ago my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer with mets to brain, spleen and pelvic bone, the tumours in his brain caused brain bleed and swelling, he started having seizures, his mobility and cognitive functions are impaired, the drs are talking brain surgery!! Anyone out there in a similar situation?? It's very distressing as I myself am fighting cancer. Any advice appreciated .

@gprior , As if one person with cancer wasn't enough in your family. I hope you have some help and support. Are his doctors looking to relieve some pressure on the brain? Has targeted radiation been ruled out?

@gprior Please consider starting a new thread. It will get more attention that way.
Very sorry for this diagnosis. I've known several people who had craniotomies for their brain mets and see them doing well at patient conferences.
I pray that you both have the best possible outcomes from your treatment.
