Diagnosed MRCC. Kidney Removed. Cancer Can Spread To Brain, Lung, Lymph Nodes? What Now?
My dad is 60, he was diagnosed w/ stage 4 mrcc. He had one of his kidneys out in 09 due to renal cancer. It was thought to be a surgical cure, now he the cancer has spread to his brain, lung , and lymph nodes. He had one of the tumors removed form his brain 2 weeks ago. Sense then, he has started having seizers due to the remaining tumor which has grown and is inoperable. Today he was informed that he also has pneumonia . He is supposed to be fitted for his radiation mask tomorrow. My question is, with having pneumonia, will they continue with the treatment plan?

Hi...there is not much options left now...it all depends upon their experience and the degree of pneumonia... so better leave it to them for the treatment...
