I have been diagnosed with squamous cell stage !!!A lung cancer I have two small cells of cancer in my right lung and one lymph node. Treatments are surgery, radiation, chemo for most people. I am considered a non surgery candidate. Therefore radiation and chemo would be my only chance. My questions are to compare length of life, quality , prognosis, with treatment and without any treatment? I have asked my Doctor, but there is an English barrier, He’s from India Plyus Doctors don’t know how long it takes to die without treatment, because patients against treatment don’t usually go back.

Posted by admin on April 30th, 2011
My mom was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer on mon may 19 and she has bipolar disorder,a heart stint,she is weak and fragile, she is 56 years old, short of breath.she is swelling badly in ankles and feet,and turning yellow already from head to neck.I am concerned she wont beable to tolerate chemo nor radation therapy to prolong her life.I need to know if chemo would be a good option for her or she should just live out what life she has left with the cancer.I want her quality of life to be what it is now and not lesser. She cant tolerate pain well and she has a negative attitude.
