Dr. Thakwani We were told today that my mom has stage 4 cancer. It is in her lungs , kidney , abdomen , bone , lymph nodes , & a mass in her arm. I believe is is non small cell ; surgery is not an option. She starts chemo tomorrow. Now we have been told that this is not curable , but that it is treatable. They are still giving her hope though ; so you can see why I am confused. She is 57 & other wise healthy. She had lost quite a bit of weight , but as gained back a couple of lbs. She is a little weak & requires lots of rest most of the time , but she does have her good days. My question to you is , do you think this is terminal or not? If so , how much longer would you say she has?
