She was diagnosed in March 4-8months. Since then she has had radiation treatment and 4 rounds of chemo. After her last round she suffered septic shock and renal failure but pulled through and spent 6 weeks in hospital.She is now home 2 weeks and can't seem to increase her energy level. The doctors say her body is too weak from all it's been through and do not want to procede with anymore chemo at this time. My question is can anyone tell me if this is normal or is this the start of her decline?? Should I start preparing myself??   marie123 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 7/2/2008 marie123 wrote:My mother has stage 4 lung cancer as a secondary with no primary found.

Should I start preparing myself??   Her body is in desperate need of detox.  The chemo, radiation and the cancer itself sends all these toxic substances throughout her body.  I am no doctor, but I know a little about this stuff.  I would suggest you get her on L-Glutathione right away.  Also I would suggest Vanadium, MSM (big dose-1000mg daily), L-Lysine,Green Tea Extract, CoQ-10, Vitamin C, and possibly Milk Thistle, and Dandelion.  She needs her greens, asparagus, and crusiferous vegetables.  She needs water without chlorine in it.  TRY TO KEEP HER MIND OFF THE CANCER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.  And she needs her rest.  Finally, put her on every prayer chain you can.  God hears our prayers.However this turns out, remember that you and your mom are loved.  You are not alone even though it might feel like it.  Remember to take care of you too.  Treat yourself to a good meal and bubble bath with a good book.  ( I know about living on coffee and candy bars out of hospital vending machines)  We are with you in spirit.  OldCatLady01 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT hi.i to have stage 4 lung cancer have had one lobe removed a wedge on the other sude , almost 2 years later still have 3 spots 2/1 on ther side have had 12 chemos in t& he last 15 mo's some success (altima) but i to am always tired * bored can't sleep at nite (probley worring to much ) but i guess the tired ness is common ,may i'm told excercise & diet help. good luck with your mom things always work out for the best.....jim   cancer survivor july 2008 jaames Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT
