Stage 4 EC, treatable but not curable? How's that possible. My wife has stage four also. Has done chemo and radiation but they never have mentioned treatable.

She is also always coughing up phlegm. The latest tried is the patch they used for sea sickness. Unfortunately it gives her a headache.
Hoping for control in Wyoming

I've been diagnosed stage 4 EC as my EC spread to my gluteus maximus. The Dr's prescribed me with a 3 day Fetenyl slow release patch and a 10mg fast release oxicodone. These don't totally relieve the pain, but they help. I'm not sure if this is what they were prescribing or not? Good luck and let me know if I answer any other questions.
