This is a serious medical query that absolutely needs to be discussed directly with an experienced oncologist.
I cannot suggest any medical treatments, but when my relative went through this, the doctors used a combination of targeted therapy and chemotherapy. Every patient's case is completely different based on the stage, so please rely only on your medical team's advice.
Treatment options generally range from surgery and radiation to chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted drug therapies. It completely depends on the specific type of lung cancer and how early it is detected. I highly suggest getting a detailed consultation at a specialized oncology center.
Dealing with a cancer diagnosis is incredibly hard for any family, and my heart goes out to you. The options depend heavily on the biopsy results and staging scans. Please hold strong, ask your doctor to explain the plan in simple terms, and take it one day at a time.
Lung cancer treatments have advanced immensely over the years, including highly targeted therapies that have fewer side effects than traditional chemo. The right path depends on whether it is small cell or non-small cell lung cancer. Please consult a multidisciplinary team of oncologists to find the best approach.
