Hi, I am looking for some info on progression of stage 4 that has spread to the brain, heart and ovaries. My sister went to doc on 1/30/04 and was diagnosed that day - she had fluid around her heart lung cancer brain cancer and now its on the ovaries as well. She is 44 and went in for what she thought to be a sinus infection and the doctor heard wheezing in the lung so they did a chest exray and it spiralled from there. She has had 14 radiation treatments on the brain and 12 on the lung she is done for now. She took 1 chemo and doesn't want that anymore and she is no on Iressa. We just have no idea what to expect. She went completely bald and is having a lot of heart burn and shortness of breath. If anyone has any idea of what we can expect please give me a heads up. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your families.
