Lung Cancer 2nd Opinion Consultation required

Posted by tassaweramin @tassaweramin, 2 days ago

Hi,
My brother is diagnosed with a rear type Lungs cancer which propagated close to his heart hence surgery is not possible until it's size becomes small enough .
He is being treated from last 5 years and Chemotherapy is suggested as the only possible solution but his health is detreating from last 2 months and cancer is spreading to other parts of his body and currently affecting his liver.
I have all his reports available and asking for assistance i.e. how to look for a second opinion about his case or any possible treatment options available in USA ?
Any help in this regard will be extremely appreciated.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Cancer Support Group.

Hello @tassaweramin, I'm sorry to hear about your brother and the difficulties that he's facing. For a second opinion in the US, he may need to be seen in person. That assumes that he is well enough to travel.
