You poor thing! I think it depends on what stage of cancer she has. They can do a lot of treatments now a days, and hopefully they have caught it early on. Good luck to you and your Mom! :)

Depending on the location of the cancer, she might be able to have a lobe removed, thus removing all the cancer. If it is throughout her lungs, it's possible that chemotherapy will help her to survive longer. You should discuss her options with her pulmonologist. Good luck. If you believe in God, then I hope he will help your mother.

Honestly, its better you consult a specialist. I really want to help but I don't think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry. good luck Love is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Surgery is the first option.

First off, don't listen to the people who have a bunch of high priced treatments, but no conclusive answers to your questions. The USA leads the world in rates of degenerative disease because the diseases are too profitable to be trying to cure. Try going to see a tradtinal chinese medicine doctor, or an ayurvedic medicine doctor. They will be able to offer you something that might actually cure her, instead of a bunch of expensive treatments that kill far more than they save, and rhetorical bullshit. Refuse to accept anything that is not exactly what you are looking for, which is complete remission. Those that tell you that that's just the way it is and there's nothing they can do, don't deserve your attention. Kick them to the curb. Go to the library, get some books and read them. But avoid the mainstream medical industry, AMA information. They don't want cures, they want patients. My father died of cancer, and I really know what you're going through. Good luck to you.
