My Father has been diagnosed with tumours in both lungs and the Dr has stated it is " none curative " please excuse any spelling .
He has sqamous cell carcinoma and it is at an early stage.
His present illness was discovered as he finished treatment for skin cancer two years ago. This was discovered through a routine X ray and then the CT scan and Biopsy.
We are meeting with the Oncologist and have been informed the option is Aggressive Chemotherapy to keep " it " at bay.
There are so many different opinions and treatments world wide it makes us think is the NHS route the System we are in the only option ?
I am reading posts here relating to to the USA and specialists in Germany ?
Our concern is once we have " put all our eggs in one basket " and based on his health responding to the treatment he may/ may not be in a good condition to travel.
If anyone has any ideas it would be gratefully appreciated.
He is 66 and has no symptoms’ at all apart from what has been discovered.
Kind regards ,
Dan
