My younger brother (34) was treated with surgery for a carcinoma in his lung in April this year. Shortly after, he started chemotherapy which we were thinking was going well and his oncologist said in August that things were looking good, but then he fell very sick in early October and was diagnosed soon after with a secondary mass in his abdomen. He had surgery 3 weeks ago and they took out a 3.5kg tumour whih had obviously grown through the chemo. They'd actually missed it on a scan in Aug (was about 5cm then), but it grew exceptionally fast even so. They've biopsied that and it is a pecoma this time. I'm told that's rare in men and obviously all of this is rare in someone so young. He's now being referred onto a more specialist unit. His previous oncologist has just said he has no active cancer in his body right now, which is great. I guess I'm worried that he is resistant to chemo and wondering what, if anything might be options for stopping another occurance. And we're all just finding the disease a bit of a lot to handle in someone so young.
