Dad was recently dx with Carcinoma menigits, orginating from EC.  VERY RARE we were told. Also told he as 4-8 weeks left. Looking to see if I can find anyone that has had it and what treatments were done.

    Sorry to hear

    Just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear your news.  I've never heard of carcinoma menigitis, so unfortunately, I can't offer anything but heartfelt best wishes,

    carcinoma meningitis

    I'm sorry I've not heard of it. 

    Perhaps you could get an opinion from a neurologist and also contact places like Yale cancer center , MD Anderson, Sloane kettering

    etc to find out if treatments are available . ask your doctors also where to go for information and second opinions.

    I'm very sorry, this is very hard for you , but perhaps somewhere there is a treatment available.
