STAGE 2B


by: DW on Mon, May 28 2007

Hi,

My name is Denise and my mother-in-law was just diagnosed with lung cancer satge 2b. She is 57 y/o. She had her left upper lung removed, the cancer was .06 in size, and 1 of 7 nodes was involved, it didn’t invade the chest wall, the mediumstinum, or the lining of the remainging lung.. She can’t do radiation or kemo because she already has multiple myeloma stage 4. She has been in remission for that for 3 years.. She had her stem cells replaced with her own 3 years ago..I can’t find anything on the net about her prognosis, because she already is fighting another cancer..But I probably don’t want to know the truth about how long she may have, but I need to know, her son and husband are in denial. So if anyone can help me, I would appreciate it very much, and if there is any thing I can do for her as far as maybe learning more about foods that would help prolong this, and or just ANYTHING I can do to help heIp her, I will do it.. And to who ever reads this I thank you for taking the time to read it..And god bless
