Anyone have knowledge of rare cancer fetal adenocarcinoma ?

Posted by gprior @gprior, Jan 16 3:47pm

My husband has been diagnosed with fetal adenocarcinoma, a rare form of lung cancer that has spread to his brain, spleen and pelvic bone. He's had brain surgery to remove the tumours and has now been advised he has about 6 months to live without treatment or 12 to 18 months with quite aggressive treatment which may cause some serious issues. We have to decide quality or quantity, as so many of us with cancer have to do.. thoughts please, would be so welcome 🙏

Very sorry to hear about your husband. I’m not good with condolence words…but I know grief is hard for loved ones. Just want to say I feel for you. As a person with stage 4 cancer, I know I worry mostly about my family. I’m sure your husband was the same and would want you to have lots of support. Hugs.

I am sorry that you have stage 4 and I hope you can enjoy the time you have. I can understand the worry you have for your family and you are so right...my hubby worried about me even tho I said many times I'd be ok as we have many wonderful friends and loving family. Yes I am grieving and I feel for all those others who are in the same situation. Hugs to all Glor

This dreadful fetal adenocarcinoma has taken its toll on my dear husband and he passed away on 11th
March exactly 3 month after the day of diagnosis. I and my family cannot believe the speed with which it took hold of his body and brought down a strong previously healthy man. 🙏 . Glor

Glor, @gprior, Thank you for letting us know. This disease takes too many of us, far too soon. I too wish you would have had more time. I'm sure he knew how much you and your family loved him. Sending hugs.
