Confused: Lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis and more

Posted by shamrock5jeg @shamrock5jeg, May 4, 2021

New to this forum. Actually, never tried any type of forum so I really don't know what I'm doing. Anyhow, after reading some of the posts I guess I am not so bad off. I have lung cancer in my right lung, pulmonary fibrosis, peripheral neuropathy, chronic pancreatitis and just developed shingles last week. Am treating skin cancer on my forehead with fluorouracil cream. Need more radiation for Basel cell on my neck. Left lung cancer was treated with SBRT and is "cured".Right lung is not being treated due to the fibrosis. Still function pretty good, Only take 4 meds. Walking is the biggest problem. Want to dance again, walk, climb stairs, drive a stick shift. Want my legs Back! Sorry I rambled on. My heart goes out the others I read about. Wish they could solve all the problems, it hurts to me to read their stories and makes mine so trivial.

Is there any trials for BRAF colon cancer metasized to the liver ?

Also they gave me three options the other day 1) do the Y 90 beads but really have not had success with them
2) do illostphy because I keep getting. Diverticulitis . 3) go into to hospice . My cancer has grew because I cannot stay in drugs for colon cancer because of this . Please help with any comment

Good morning Duckduck, it's nice to meet you. You've had a rough time. This is what I found:
https://www.cancer.gov/search/results?swKeyword=BRAF+colon+cancer+metasized+to+the+liver+
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/disease/colon-cancer/treatment
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/disease/liver-cancer
Perhaps others can fill in other sites that will offer other options for you.

Have you asked your doctor for recommendations?
Can I help with anything else?
