Well I haven't been with you that long. I had what I thought were pains due to my PEG tube, but it seems there are several suspicious spots in my lungs that the oncologists seems to believe are lung metastisis of my tongue cancer. Chemo did not work the last time we tried prior to surgery to shrink the tumor at all. He says there would be no point at throwing more of the same at it. He is suggesting a clinical trial. Any experience from anyone out there? He said my prognosis is poor, typically if the result to a clinical trial aren't good then 6 months to 1 year. Any help at all would be appreicated.
I am stunned! Lynn
