A member asked:
My husband is terminally ill from stage iv lung cancer that has mestastised to his liver. taking navelbine (vinorelbine). will that cure him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but...: It has a fair chance of slowing the tumor. Some folks live for months or perhaps even longer comfortably even with liver metastases from lung cancer, especially if the response to chemotherapy has been good. I hope the two of you will have more quality time together. It will be his and your decision, with advice from the oncologist, when to stop treatment and choose comfort measures only.
