In June this year my father , 82 yrs old,
was diagnosed with adeno-carcinoma non-small
cell type lung cancer with stage 4, except this his all vital are normal,
by the grace of God. He has completed all chemo sessions.
During this tennure he had significant weight loss.
Now he has to take only one medicine,dacomitinib-30g, once a day.
Moreover he is quite well now and active.
What I want to know is that how much time it will take for him
to regain his weight and will cancer get completely eradicated
from his body after taking this medicine regularly.
Animesh....
Ans: Lung cancer are prone for metastasis which is distant spread. So your father would need regular follow up. Staying positive, with a healthy lifestyle will add quality to life
