Hello, please help,

My eldest sister who is 65 has been diagnosed with lung cancer by oncologist in Ethiopia.

She has been asthmatic for most of her adult life & no one knew about her lung situation.

She is now told by oncologists that her cancer is a in stage 4 and it is a primary cancer and all her other organs are clear of the symptom.  The assessments also states that it is:  Adenocarcinoma with pleural involvement.

Her advisor further wrote a summary and stated the following:

- ECOG= 0

- Decreased air entry & dullness on Rt lower chest

- Pedal & pretibial trace pitting edema

They suggested the following as a treatment:

- Intermittent Pleural tap

- Palliative Chemotherapy (cisplatin + Paclitaxol)

- Pain control.

 Do you think her cancer can be controlled?  Can her cancer be treated?

I greatly look forward for your kind advice.

Mike D
