My Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in Sep, 2000. Was treated with Chemo to try and stop the tumour growing in his lung and lymph nodes in his neck. Within two weeks of chemo treatment, they found 5 more tumours through out his upper body. So chemo didn't work that time. Again with chemo and now radiation. Tumours stopped growing for a few days but now has found two more tumours. He is going down hill fast. Has anybody had the fastest growing Cancer around? If so, how did you beat it? He is also on Morfin and I was wondering if taken long enough do you start to become distant or not know what's goin on around you? Thanks in advance, Lindy

    hi I'm a new comer to this forum and lung cancer. I do know that three years ago when my husband was diagnosed with melanoma which spread to his brain. we didn't know it until he started acting distant and confused and didn't know who I was. I took him to the doctor and they ordered a pet scan and it showed it had spread to his brain. the pressure was causing his unusual behavior not sure if this helps . my prayers are with you. God bless
