Just found out Friday (4/4/2008) that mom is sick. They thought she had a stroke but the found tumors on her brain instead. Did some test over the weekend and a few today and gave her her options.
A: do nothing and you have about a month.
B: Treat the brain tumors and you have about 3-5 months
It is also in the longs so they are biopsying those tomorrow and will outline a course of treatment for those. They wont know how fast those are going until the biopsy so they don't know how to treat them.
At this point she is opting for the brain radiation to treat the brain tumors. They will know more in the next few days.
They cant treat the lung and brain tumors at the same time so it will be a few weeks before they can do the lung treatments at any rate but the biopsy will tell them more.
But at this point they are saying she is stage 4 and somewhere in the 1-5 month range to live.
