Lung Cancer: Help

Dear Dr Chris,

I got your name card from my colleague and sincerely hope that you could help us. Three months ago my mum was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer type squamous cell as per biopsy report. Doc told us its stage 3 and above

She has undergone 10 times of radiotherapy treatment and also prescribed with either chemotherapy or the drug Iressa. However we did not proceed with these 2 treatments as we’re worried over the effects of chemo and whether it’ll be effective for my mum. As for Iressa, it beyond our means - to afford the drugs. Currently my mum is only taking supplements. Her condition seem to be worsening and we’re very worried

Dr., do you see your patients in KL? My mum is having pain now and I’m not sure whether she can make the trip to Penang. Please advise how we could see you for further consultation

Thank you so much
