Cancer of the neck? My friend told me that they tol doctor, she had a neck tumor that has spread to his heart and lungs. All information for whats ahead for her?
Sorry to hear about your friend. There is no way to know with certainty what is coming, without knowing the type of cancer, it i. Some cancers are more treatable than others, and some cancers are more aggressive than others. You have a better idea once you know what type of cancer, it i.
In general, at this stage, its treatment options are likely to chemotherapy, and possibly radiation. The chances of completely getting rid of cancer spread after the property is low, but not impossible. Many people in his position can only slow the cancer with chemotherapy, which limits their useful life, but it can sometimes be several decades. With cancer, there are always surprises, so maybe your friend will be lucky and have great success with the first round of chemotherapy.
I guess that is a type of head and neck cancer stage 4. Standard treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation are not so effective.
Its prospects with standard treatments is dark.
