Is There Any Ayurvedic Medication To Treat Lung Cancer?
Dear Sir,
My elder brother (age:53 and staying in Bangalore) is suffering from lungs cancer for the last 6 years. So many chemotherapy are done and was in a stable condition till February 2011. Since February 2011 his condition is worsened and fluid started forming in lungs (around 150 ml daily). Now the fluid forming is low but one of his lungs is not functioning and the disease is spread in spinal cord and legs. Now he is not in a position to walk or sit on his own and also not in a position to undergo chemotherapy as he is very weak now. Is there any Ayurvedic medicine/treatment available for his disease? Kindly let me know. He is not in a position to travel now, can we come and meet you regarding this. We can provide you all the case history of him
Expecting a prompt reply,
Regards,
C Surendran

Hi
Your brother is suffering from stage 4 lung cancer.
Average survival time during this stage is around 6 to 9 months.
Basic aim of treatment should only be basic supportive care as he is not in a state to tolerate any type of chemotherapy.
Oxygen cylinder at home and morphine tablets for pain is to be arranged.Ayurvedic medicines has not been scientifically tested.
