Hi. My husband has been being treated for stage 3 colorectal cancer with local lymph node involvement for over 3 years. He has had a brief period of remission. The original tumour has been cured. However latest scan shows that cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in both lungs. He is now recommencing chemotherapy. His oncologist has not advised if this is a palliative treatment or if there are still hopes of a cure. Does your oncologist have to tell you this? We know there are multiple lymph nodes in both lungs. Can this be cured or is this type of treatment more to manage progression?
