Question
my question is, my brother who will be 66 in Oct has had lung cancer in both lungs, it is now in the cerebellum in his brain, they said there is nothing they can do for him to late for treatments, they have given him 3 months..! Is there really nothing they can, or is it because he tried holistic treatments that they cannot do anything, he is in hospital for a week now, looks like no hope in getting home. His speech is very slurry, and he is having trouble hearing on the phone?? When they give you 3 months, its usually sooner eh??
No unfortunately nothing can be done. Well you can give radiation therapy but that will just slow down the process somewhat. That is all unfortunately! It has nothing to do with previous treatments. No cure is possible. It may be sooner than 3 months or later but it is probably around 3 months.
