For Bball_Junkie and swvaref, you and your families are in our prayers.

We just lost a friend last week who's melanoma spread to the brain. My wife lost her sister to breast cancer and lymphoma 4 years ago. Her mother's stage II non-small cell lung cancer from last summer has returned and spread to her bones, which means it's advanced to stage IV. There are presently no clinic trials available within traveling distance. She is presently taking a daily chemotherapy pill as oppsed to the typical chemo treatments and receiving treatment for the bone cancer. We're trying to keep her comfortable but there's not much quality of life right now..

Cancer is a terrible disease. It touches everyone eventually.
