Hi. Doctor...my 80 yr old mom was just diagnosed with small. cell lung cancer...stage 3b...also. found. in her liver...the oncologist is.offering the treatment of "etopside caps" as only option besides doing nothing. Mom is strong and wants to live! How much more. time could this treatment allow her and what are the side. effects and would it. be worth it to try? she is not in. pain. or experiencing discomfort at this time.....loves to eat... very social...also how long would. she have if no treatment...t
