Stage four. lung cancer.?

my mother has been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.
non small cell.
she is a non-smoker.

all the info i find tells me how she will be dead in less then five years.
or how no treatment will help her.

someone. anyone.
help me.

I am so sorry, honey.

Throw the computer out the window and spend as much time with your mother as you can. Take pictures. Go on trips.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Heh. My father was told he had lung cancer one time and he didn't. He was a non smoker.They saw a spot on the xray and.... He eventually got colon cancer however and there is a treatment for it. They gave him really high doses of vitamins. and the tumor went from a baseball size to pea size. So feed her lots of low sodium v8 juice and fresh fruits and veggies. Don't believe everything doctors tell you because they can be wrong. I don't know your belief system but I have tried this too and it worked. Pray to Jesus to heal your mother because God is not dead!!! good luck.

oh i am so sorry about your mother.. yes most of that is true. stage 4 is the last of the stages. my father had stage 4 cancer and he found out in may then died in feb after that. he tried to fight it off doing all they said but he then stopped treatment a month before he died due to it wasn't helping him any more and the treatments are kind of hard to go through. Dr's said only a miracle would help now.. but that miracle didnt come.. best thing to do is keep your faith and spirits up as well as your mothers. i made my dad laugh all the time and it felt good to me and to him. i will pray for you and your mom. be sure to spend as much time with her as you can. good luck

hit the herb store honey good place to start

I have stage 4 lung cancer and i'm a smoker... My chemo is working on my cancer. So any sign of that is good.. you don't have to smoke to get cancer. There is no one cure for cancer.You just have to hope for the best and bet the odds. They don't know how long you will live.

Statistics show that stage 4 lung cancers have a low survival rate. Stage 4 means that there are already cancer cells that have spread to other areas outside the lungs (this requires further diagnostic studies aside from the biopsy). As for treatment you can always try chemotherapy but remember your mom will be exposed to the usual side effects like falling of hair, vomiting and others. A good advice I can give you (I also underwent the same experience) is to spend more time with her and always make her happy.

First of all do not bury her before she is dead!! so many people give up. My Aunt has had stage four breast cancer for five years. The told her that she would never make it two. She is on constant Chemo the rest of her life. Believe it or not she is on of the ones that it does not bother so much. She has treatments every two weeks. She just got back from the Great Smokies celebrating her 50th anniversay with her husband. There have been some awful moments but she keeps going. You Mother must fight. Western Medicine is good......but nothing can replace the ability of the body to heal itself. Feed her tons of raw veggies and fruits........Check into a product called Sunrider and clear it with her Dr. It is a wonderful product and it helps build the body's Ph. It is a powder that you mix in most anything, it is nothing but food! But as a supplement it works wonders either on or off the Chemo. Have faith..........and always remember sometimes you so all you can and it is just not meant to be that they stay with us. She may have bigger and better things to do. Spent all the time you can with her. I lost my Mom when she was 42, she gave up. My Dad now had cancer stage 3 and he is fighting very hard at 76. It is just important to keep her spirits up and it is very hard to do when they are so sick. I will pray that you will have some quality time with your Mom and that she may see some improvement and fight this. The Doctors are not always right.

Hi
Sorry to hear about your mother. My brother has stage 4 lung cancer, If she was just diagnosed ask the doctor to give her a body scan to see if it has spread. Sometimes it is contained in one spot. Then radiation can be done and then chemo.
My brother had a large tumor in his right lung After radiation and chemo its almost gone.
His problem is a blood clot that developed , Keep a close eye if anyone is on blood thinners,going on and off them.
Doctors failed to tell him after a severe nossebleed to resume blood thinners after a few days when he was on radiation . They say now theres nothing they can do. hope this helps. Karen
