A member asked:

72yr old dad, lung ca went to brain 4 mths ago. tx was unsuccessful & all tx stopped 4 wks ago. he is more confused, restless etc. what can we expect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sorry to hear: Unfortunately, secondary brain metastasis is quite common with lung cancers, and prognosis under circumstances seems quite grim. I suspect that your Dad will continue to deteriorate, and likely will best be treated palliatively. Suggest you contact a hospice facility, as this can be very supportive and helpful
