Survival with a secondary brain tumor.?
My father has just been diognosed with 4 tumors in his head. They are not attached to anything (that makes no sense to me hoping someone knows what they mean by that) The fact that they are not attached makes the doctors think that they are secondary but they have not found the main cancer. What Im asking is does anyone have an idea about survival rates with this type of cancer

It quite relies upon at this style of tumor and the %. at which that's growing to be. Has she considered an oncologist? i'm assuming so, considering she became despatched abode with no longer something extra which may be executed. i'd call the oncologist ( or any document she did see) and ask them her existence expectancy. it quite is not a chilly question, yet you (& your mom) would desire to coach yourselves. you could tell them her functioning prestige and her deterioration and that they might desire to be waiting to grant you an estimation. My companion's father died of a concepts tumor 2 yearts in the past...10 weeks to the prognosis. He, too became despatched abode with out any strategies of scientific care. stable success to you and your mom. Make the wonderful of this time together with her, you will never get to do it back. God bless you.

“This type of cancer”? You don’t know the type so we have no way of knowing, but April is right if the tumors are brain mets the cancer is not curable.
