My sweetest little niece (my first cousin once removed)is only eight years old, she is very sick…she got cancer. The doctors could not make the conclusion before operation, but they suspect that she got Peritoneal Mesothelioma (Abdominal Mesothelioma). Could you pray for her please? She is in China, her name is Yiwen.
My grandma was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and I know she won’t recover from this so how long do you think she will live? The doctors said about a year but she could live 5 years…
Last Monday my grandmother had to get chest x-rays and they found a mass — The doctors didnt like the way that it looked so she had an appointment with a different doctor to discuss things, which was today — I just found out that she has Emphysema and Monday will get a bronchoscope biopsy to find out if she she lung cancer.
I am very scared and concerned for what she may have to go through in the future is she does have lung cancer. It is bad enough having emphysema, but that and cancer. She also has diabetes and is not in the best of health.
Yes she did smoke for quite a bit of her life and did quit and has for 8 years now.
I just dont want anything to happen to her.
What is to be expected in her future?
I know that the cause is due to her smoking so please I really dont wanna hear its her fault for smoking.
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.
