He said it's worse news if it has spread from the neck. I think he meant if it has spread this fast to the lungs and possibly the colon, then it has probably spread throughout my body.
I debated doing the ND and radiation and chemo and now, of course, if it turns out to be this I sure wish I wouldn't have. My husband's cancer did the same thing. He had prostate cancer and it just spread like wildfire through his body. He only lived a few more months.
