Hi my aunt has cancer, a few years ago was in kidney which she had removed. drs say it was there 10yrs maybe but no symptomns. then she got secondary cancer in her lungs i think they used inferin to treat it. now she has spots on her brain, which she has had radium treatment on this week. it has also spread to her bones and liver. what are the chances considering its so widespread. will any other surgery help, how succesful wil the radiation be on bones and brain?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important to know the details of the cancer she is having. If it is appearing at many places over 10 years then she has a low grade cancer affecting many places. If treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy has helped earlier than it might work even this time. However, surgery to remove all the lesions in brain sounds difficult for me. Please send me the details of her cancer including all the areas involved and treatment taken earlier, and then we can help you understand the cancer and its treatment in a better way. Please do not worry.
