My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer in October of 2007. She's tried chemo, and nothing has worked. She has tumors all up & down her spine that seemed to have come out of nowhere. The cancer is metasticized to her bones & lymph nodes. She's got 2 huge tumors on her spine. One in the lumbar region and one in the thorasic region. She's been on dilauded (sp?) since she's been in the hospital this last time, which was 4 weeks ago yesterday. Now, she's hallucinating from the dilauded, but last night my sister went to see her & she said it was like being with an alzheimer's patient. She made ZERO sense when she spoke, and she said it was different that her just hallucinating from the dilauded. She & I both think the cancer is in her brain. They did a CT scan, but the results won't be back for a while. How do you know if how she's acting is from the meds or the cancer going to her brain? And how much time does one have if they have cancer in the brain?
Wanted to add that she's been undergoing radiation to break up the tumors on her spine causing her such horrible pain.
Thanks!

My father is a heart tranplant reciepiant. Are there alternative treatments out there he could possibly be a canidate for? Something else besides the traditional chemo that won't affect his current meds?
