Need oncologist: This is very complex, as the stroke may have been secondary to a paraneoplastic hyper-coagulable syndrome, and this whole picture requires careful expertise. Ignore staging, as that is the realm of oncology and radiation therapy. Rather, have a family meeting with the physicians, and gain understanding of their recommendations. Good luck.
