  • Hi Passa, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband being diagnosed with cancer at this late stage. You sound angry and understandably so. It sounds like your husband has been in contact with his doctor and nothing was picked up. but if there were no visible signs and if he didn't tell the doctor about issues he might have been having prior to now, then its' possible his doctor wasn't aware of any abnormalities with him. Its' really strange that he would have all this cancer and no symptoms at all, but I guess it does happen. I can't tell you whether or not he should have radiation on his brain. If he and you have questions or concerns about that, you really do need to discuss those with his doctor. I wish both of you the best of luck as you go though this difficult time.

    Come back on the forum and let us know how he gets along.

    Take care.
