Subject: Is there any hope realistically?
Date: 04/22/2008
I am so distraught over my brother's cancer.  He was diagnosed with 4th stage sqamous cell lung cancer last Oct.  He has had metastisis to the brain, spinal cord, bone and now the liver.  They are using the most aggressive chemo and radiation available.  The liver and a second spot on the spinal cord was found yesterday and it spread to the other lung.  He seems to be sleeping all day and I don't know if it's the cancer or the meds.  He is on morphine, vicodin, valium and decadron.  It seems that the cancer is beating the treatment.  Nobody has said anything about stopping treatment and letting him have some peace.  He feels like if he doesn't do all they propose he is giving up.  What kind of prognosis do you think he has if he tries more chemo and more radiation?  How long can he live with the cancer spreading this fast?
