Question 9

my mother has bronchogenic carcinoma. what should i tell her?

Accepted Answer

Depends on stage: ...Among  many other things. She should see doctors experienced in treating lung cancer. Teams of doctors from several specialties can be very helpful. She and you should discard any preconceived notions of what treatment is like. Past experiences of family/loved ones may have no resemblance to her treatment. Use the internet, but use it to get the questions to ask her doctors, not to answer them.

Question 10

what is the prognosis with bronchogenic carcinoma and brain metastasis newly diagnosed?

Accepted Answer

Prognosis: Unfortunately to present with a new lung cancer with brain metastasis generally carries a poor prognosis with median survival generally measured in few months. Survival prediction is always difficult and has a lot to do with 'performance status', ie how well a patient is carrying on with activities of daily living. Specific cell type, size of tumor,  extent of metastasis in brain and elsewhere.
