My dearest friend was diagnosed with NSLC 3 months ago. At that
time there was one 6 cm sized tumor in one lung, multiple lesions in the
other, spots on her liver and brain. Chemo was begun a week later
which lasted a few weeks. She stopped chemo after having some seizures and feeling so miserable. A few weeks later she fell and a
new scan showed multiple brain lesions (too many to count). She started
radiation a few weeks ago but became so sick she was unable to complete more than 7 or 8 treatments. She is now in the hospital
after falling again. She is no longer herself and is great physical
pain. How much longer could she survive? I feel her treatments
are prolonging her suffering. Help...
