Suggest Treatment For Lung Cancer
My brother is only 22 years old and he is suffering from lung cancer. Now he has complete loss of vision in his left eye and having breathing difficulties. He is getting weaker day-by-day. He has never smoked till now during his life. He is now taking Chemo. I want to know in which stage is he is now. I am in hope that he'll recover with our prayers.

Hi
Your brother is suffering from stage 4 cancer.
The tumour must have spread to his brain and that is why he is having vision problem.
I will recommend MRI brain.
Treatment at this stage consist of palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Average survival time is 6 to 9 months in this stage.

DR De
