Hi, My father-in-law has been detected with 4th stage Lung Adenocarcinoma, June, this year. He is having a history of Tobacco chewing. PET-CT and CT scan suggested that the cancer has spread to lymph nodes and some part of abdomen. He completed his 4 rounds of chemotherapy with Carboplatin and pemetrexed and he is completely fine and totally symptomless. His blood count is absolutely normal. Can we hope that he has the chances of recovery.

What does his latest PET scan say? Regular PET scans can only tell the ongoing disease status. Its good that he is fine. As long as he can accept chemo without side effects, it may be taken. Stage 4 cancer is difficult to respond 100% with any chemo.
