My uncle has been told that there is no possible treatment, because of the fact he has had a heartattack two years ago. I have not spoken to the doctor cause I am on the west coast he is on the east. Yet, I have a feeling this might be a conservative opinion. Yet, could some one with a medical background or better skills at researching than me please confirm this information. I realize that Stage 4 is quite terminal, yet I know that he is a fighter so if anyone knows of anything radical or anything, it would really be useful information.
My sister in law was diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal lung cancer. Inoperable. It has spread to her liver, throat, and parts of her brain I was told. She is 55 and in very poor health. How long does she have? She has decided no treatment for herself.
Stage 4 small cell has just been diagnosed and was found on the brain at diagnosis. Is it pretty much a time to make someone comfortable and prepared? Or does chemo and radiation sometimes work even if it is in stage 4 or is that just a futile effort to preserve life?
My grandmother was just diagnosed and it has spread to her liver and her adrenal glands. Is this considered stage 4?
Stage 4, 57 year old female, 15 years suffering from M.S., has had cancer for 3.5 years.
