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 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.

Seee comment above. rlf66
@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?
My husband is going to have surgery this morn to remove the cancer ( tumours) from his brain. We are all hoping for the best outcome. After recovery they will start treatment on the lung spleen and pelvic bone..which is causing him a lot of pain. Chemo , immuno and radiotherapy have been recommended.
Removal of the brain tumours was optional but the swelling cant continue as it is not being controlled by steroids. It's a very worrying time for us as all of you would understand.
