My husband died of lung cancer, but it was discovered far too late for any effective treatment. He had “palliative” chemo and radiation, which did him far more harm than good. He only had tumor in his upper right shoulder joint/upper lung when he was diagnosed, and even when he died 6 weeks later, his lungs, except for that main tumor, were clear, but he had mets in his brain, liver, adrenals, etc.

If this were to happen to me, I would try some of the herbal remedies, in particular Medicine Man Tea (you can google this) rather than go through what he endured, which as I said before, did not palliate anything. I’m thinking he would have lived longer if he’d decided against any treatment, but that is just my opinion.

PS, feel free to flame away or ignore me, I just have these opinions because I went through this with my husband. YMMV

I was fortunate in that mind was diagnosed in 1998, and had not metastasized. My RN daughter put me on a special diet, and thanks to God, good doctors and the diet, I'm still here. They removed the left upper lobe of my lungs. Then I was cancer-free until 2005, when a small nodule was found in my right lung. I believe if I had stayed on the diet for those years, it would not have come back. Live and learn.

I'm sorry about your husband. I do know that any lung cancer that has gone beyond the lungs is almost certain death. As you say, it's worth it to try anything at that point. I also am willing to try almost anything, because modern medicine can't work miracles.
