I don't know where your Mom is being treated but if she is not being treated at either CTCA as in the post above or a dedicated cancer center then I would change doctors. You should at least get second and third opinions from an oncologist, surgeon and pulomonogist. Your Mom has the will to fight so you need to help her find some new team mates. Remember, healthcare is a service that you pay for. If you are not heppy with the service you are receiving then you should go elsewhere. Good luck to both you and your Mom.
