A member asked:
What do you suggest if my husband is terminally ill from stage iv lung cancer that has mestastised to his liver. taking navelbine (vinorelbine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quality of life: If his cancer is controlled with chemotherapy, and he is pleased with his quality of life, I would continue the treatment. The medical oncologist will know if other agents can be used if navelbine (vinorelbine) stops being effective. If quality of life is low with the chemotherapy, it is reasonable to stop treatment and pursue hospice. It is a very personal decision.
