My husband had stage IV nsclc. It was the massive lymphangenic spread that took him. His tumors were all shrinking from the chemo-taxotere and avastin-but the lymph spread could not be stopped. What do the doctors say about your situation?

patriciad,

Thanks so much for your reply.....

My mom was just told her sclc has spread throughout her lymph system... She is having pain, 1 to 10 about a 5. We see the oncol on Wed. 10/28, I fear the worst... but she has beat the odds in living 16 months past original diagnosis, so I am thankful for this time. Lymph spread is grim... so I'm preparing....
