My dad has nonsmall cell adenocarcinoma of lung and brain. He has undergone Carbo, Taxol, & Avastin. Chemo worked until maint. dose of Avastin, growing again in lung. Brain cancer is gone thanks to gamma knife. Lately, has had terrible headaches, always in forehead but moves around, can't figure out why. Had repeat MRI and brain tumor is still inactive. Went by ambulance with symptoms similar to stroke, unable to walk, slurred speech. Repeat brain MRI, no change. They are going to do MRI on back now (thinking tumor there) and maybe do a spinal tap to check spinal fluid. Can't figure out why the weakness though since seen a lot of surviviors with spinal tumors and haven't heard complaints of headaches and generalized weakness. He was a very independent man until 2 days ago. Now he can't walk and is on Morphine for pain because headaches are so severe.
Does anyone have any information???? I'm hoping because I learn most of my information from all of you. Please help.
