How Can Lung Cancer Be Treated?
I have small cell lung cancer. The doctor is giving me Opdivo after chemo w/ carboplatin and taxol didn t work at all. Starting radiation again soon. Docs say nothing else they can do. Asked about diet, herbs, heat, ultrasound, etc. but they don t think it will do anything. They think I m doing well-- given my situation. Now jwe ust sit and watch the pictures get worse...looking for a more comprehensive program any ideas? J.M. Atlanta, GA
