Mum has just been told that her cancer has returned! In Oct 2012 she had a right lobectomy for stage 1b adenocarcinoma. The Drs didn't think she needed any follow up chemo.
Now May 2016 the cancer has recurred and spread to the pleura. Stage 4. She's been told only option in chemotherapy and maybe a clinical trial. She is going to see her oncologist on Friday at Clatterbridge and then we will find out options. She is not positive for EGFR or ALK mutation.
Has anybody been in the same situation?
Any advice would be really grateful.
Has anybody tried alternative treatments?
