Hello -- My mom just turned 47 and was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to her lymph nodes in the chest and lower neck. She has gotten a 2nd opinion from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. and they confirmed the diagnosis. They told her she is inoperable and is only able to control this with chemotherapy. She is a mother of three girls and is very desperate to find out more information about treatment or people with this type of cancer who have survived. I am her oldest daughter and am in Arizona trying to cope on my own. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or has gone through this similar type of advanced lung cancer. My mom is heavily considering going to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, although Mayo Clinic told her that would be no better than doing nothing. I am hanging on to hope by a string and we desperately need help from people that have gone through this. Any advice, information, support would be helpful.
Thank you ...
