Hi. I'm new to this board, but I know how helpful the Congestive Heart Failure board has been for me, and now I need some help with my son.
After 11 weeks in the hospital with blood clots in legs, feet, and lungs, several transfusions, repirator and feeding tube, my 39 year old son was dismissed from hospital in a wheelchair and told to get Disability.
Soon after, he developed a visible lymph node which led to CAT SCAN and biopsy. They said he has cancer throughout body and it is non-small cell carcinoma. They are treating it as Stage IV Lung cancer, but I have the impression they don't really know where primary is...just that it is throughout his body.
He has had one chemo so far...up in Knoxville, TN., at the Thompson Cancer Survival Center, which is supposed to be good.
Assuming this treatment does not work, has anyone any knowledge of the Issel's Center in Mexico?
