Cancer Stages

I made this video with my dad, Robert Gallner (call him Bob), who is a survivor of Stage IV Renal Cell Carcinoma. He discusses his experience with the disease beginning with his first diagnosis, through the removal of several tumors and a kidney, Interleukin-2 (IL-2) therapy, and remission. He also shares insight on how to achieve inner peace and spirituality with techniques like visualization and meditation to remain positive through this painstaking process and eliminate fear. Update: Bob was diagnosed with RCC again in his liver and had major surgery after the making of this video. The surgery went really well and he is recovering wonderfully, a true survivor. These past few years have been nerve racking at times but I can honestly say my father’s cancer has brought our whole family together and we have never been closer or had so much fun together! Who are we to say what is good or bad? See the good in every situation and your life will be bliss. Circumstances do not matter. Only your state of being matters. Cancer is a challenge, but it is one we can overcome.

My mom has adenocarcinoma non small cell, she had her left lobe removed with the tumor and the lympth nodes removed and one was found in the center of her chest to be involved with the cancer. She is recovering very nicely from the surgery and will start her chemo and radiation at the end of the month. I would love to know if anyone has had this or similar stage three cancer and survived longer than the three years that is the norm?

It has went through the lung and is wrapping around the arteries of the heart. What is the real deal on how much time he may have if he gets radiation treatment and can it work for that part that is on the heart

This is small cell carcinoma.
Thank you. God Bless you and your work. The website helped, too.

My mother was diagnosed on March 9th 2007 with stage 3b non small cell lung cancer. She had a PET scan and they found another possible tumor in her neck. The cancer has spead into her lymph nodes and she has undergone almost 3 weeks of radiation and 1 week of chemo. Her white blood cell count is extremely low so they have terminated all treatment until they come back up. She started losing her hair on Thursday and by the end of the day it was all gone.

She has small cell lung cancer she is in stage 5 the extensive stage I was wanting to know how long you could live with it at stage 5. I was just wondering she quit smoking like 40 years ago and is now dealing with it.

My mom was diagnosed this past week with Stage 4 adenocarcinoma lung cancer. We do not know if it is small cell or non-small cell. I have been reading like crazy and found most passed from non-small cell within 3-6 months. but is there any change in life expectancy with small cell?? Any and all answers would be greatly appreciated. thanks
