Struggling to cope with Stage IV diagnosis and what the future holds.

Big hugs to you. May I ask if you were told if you had a mass/tumor, what the size was and where it is located?
Do the doctors still do PET or CT scans to see if tumors are shrinking?

Her situation is very fragile. As she’s on 24/7 oxygen with its requirement going up, we haven’t had a chance to get the PET scan done. Nodes are in the right lung as well as vertebrae and 4-5 doctors have said that only if there is improvement on the front of lungs, we can try giving oral hormonal treatment. I don’t have the report file on hand now. Thank you for your reply as well as concern. I just want to know which medicine can give her some relief.
