My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer 8 years ago, which spread to the brain 3 years ago. Recently we were told the lesions in the brain have continued to grow and at this point there is nothing else they can do as she has received focal radiation 2x and full brain radiation. She has other areas that are affected like her adrynoel gland but we are told that without treatment for the brain the chemo for the lung area isn t really going to help as the brian growth will be the ultimate issue. Her doctors have stopped treatments and have given us a 3 - 6 month prognosis . However, her oncologist has also indicated that her cancer is a slow growht cancer. She was given an MRI in April where they indicated there was minor fluctuation. Had another MRI on 6/6 slight increas from 1.9 x 1.8 to 2.2 x 2.1. Another lesion increased from 1.0 x 0.9 to 1.4 x 1.0 and a third increased from 1.3 x 0.7 to 1.5 x 0.9. She had her final MRI on 7/24 and the three increased to 2.9 x 2.4 from 2.2 x 2.1 and 1.8 x 1.1 from 1.5 x 0.9. From what i have read once a patient stops chemo it seems like the general prognosis is 3 - 6 months? Do you think the prognosis is accurate? It doesn t appear that the lesions grew signficantly.
