I am so sorry to hear of your predicament. I will keep you and your parents in my prayers.
A close friend of mine was diagnosed with a stage III, small oat cell lung cancer about the same time I started treatment. Hers was "inoperable" also. She received a cocktail of different chemotherapy drugs and radiation. Later she received brain radiation also as a standard extra measure. She has been declared cancer free. The treatment is as tough as it is for head and neck cancer, in some ways tougher because of the extensive chemotherapy protocol. There is always hope.
