Dear all,

One of my relative is suffering severe adinocarcinoma, and the prognosis is weak. I would like to know more details and if possible whether we can cure him. More details will be given as I get replies. Thanks.

  My mother also has adinocarcinoma, at least stage 2. Maybe stage 3 we don't know yet. It was found in her lung, has affected her lymph nodes. Half of her left lung was removed. Radiation is out because the lung and 1/2 remaining is affected with emphizema. Her lungs are not strong enough to withstand radiation.
  
  On friday Dec. 6 we will find out about exparimental type of procedures that might help her.
  
  Please let me know what you have found out so far. I will let you know what the Dr. says next Friday.

  my beloved cat may be diagnosed with this disease, (I'll find out next week for certain.) I've been told that this is not amenable for treatment in cats. Any ideas?

  My mother did not qualify for experamental procedures. She has stage three adinocarcinoma. The Doc will try radition since her lymph nodes are also affected. The Doc belives that he has taken out all of the affected lymph nodes, it's just a pre-caution. He now feels that her lung and a half can withstand the radition, since there is no other chance.
  
  Holly, please do not equate your cat to my Mother. I have four cats, I love my cats but lets be real!!! I would never consider one of my cats the way I would consider a human. To do so is a huge disrespect for humans. Get on the animal chat line.

  Do not waste your time looking for answers in places like these(forumhub). Try and get the information yourself. Try www.nih.gov for the start. Make your doctor do the research for you.

  PLEASE, I need some answers about adinocarcinoma of lung. My fater was dignosed in the left lung, 4 cm, 3 weeks ago they removed the lower left lobe and took out 8 lymph nodes, were told 4 of the 8 are positive, he also has complete renal falier since the surgery. My question is this: should he be getting treaments of chemo or radiation since it was discovered in the nodes ? the dr says the kidneys is first priorty and has started him on dialysis 3 times a week. Since it is in the nodes does this mean the cancer has spread to other parts of the body ? or what does it mean ? Please email me directly at lee35@earthlink.net Thanks to all who replys and god bless all of you

  I find this page to give more information on any health issues : http://www.webmd.com
  
  The correct spelling is adenocarcinoma (ade instead of adi). Hope this helps you all.

  My Dad had adenocarcinoma of the stomach in 1980 when he was 54. In the surgery that ensued, his stomach was reduced to 40% of his size. He underwent Chemo at TATA (in Bombay) and the drug at that time was 5FU.(5-Fluorouracil) He lived for 16 years and was completely cured of the cancer. It was a stroke that killed him. My husband's grandmother in CBE had adenocarcinoma of the colon when she was 70. She is still alive and well at 80 although quite frail. She sustained the chemo well. Can't recall the exact drug cocktail used.
  Just as bit of information, it is a known fact (I can point out to the journal article to those interested, dont know it offhand)that allylsulfide ,one of the components of garlic is known to cure adenocarcinoma of the colon. A clove of garlic daily is therefore recommended.

  All of you who criticized Holly for saying her cat has cancer are missing the point. She did not equate her cat with any person. She just stated she loves her cat which does not negate her feelings for people. So don't get so huffy.

  My mother was just recently diagnosed with this type of cancer. After taking biopsies, we were informed that it had originated in the lungs, but at this point it has spread to the bones, lymph nodes, liver and spleen. We are unsure if there are any treatment options. I am really scared for her. Please let me know of anything that could possibly help. My prayers are with all of you who have families with illnesses.

  To Suzanne..
  so what if holly loves his/her cat?? this is not the place to discuss it.. u mean to say that, the pain holly has(!!) and what these people have are same?? if u say 'yes'.. i don't know where to categorise people like u and holly...
  there is a saying in tamil.. "udhavi pannatalum paravala ubadram pannama irundha porum".. means.. no matter if u can't help atleast don't cause any trouble..
  if u can't say some caring words to these people.. forget it.. atleast don't give such statements and hurt them more..

  Dear Harikumar,
  
  Cancer therapy is complex and is best done by a team of specialists and health care professionals. If you have consulted a few professionals and specialists and they all give you the same answer, it is better to do what they ask you to do. The outcome of therapy depends on multiple factors such as the stage of the cancer, the type of therapy, your father's health condition prior to therapy etc.
  
  I can only tell you about some of the recent chemotherapy combinations that are used for advanced non small cell lung cancer that have been proven to be beneficial. Choosing the right theropy is best if left with your oncologist (cancer specialist).
  
  1. Cisplatin and paclitaxel
  2. Cisplatin and gemcitabine
  3. Cisplatin and docetaxel
  4. Carboplatin and paclitaxel
  
  One of the above combinations are commonly used with radiation therapy and/or surgery.
  For more information visit www.cancer.gov and locate information for non small cell lung cancer.
  Hope this helps!
