My friends mom is suffering from Brain Cancer and its a Degree 4 Cancer and she is at the last stage of it. She has already undergone two brain surgeries. Doctors have no answer now. PLEASE tell me if there is still something that can be done. Can she be somehow saved. PLEASE help! She is on death bed. I cant see my frend in this state becoz of the pain he is going through seeing his mother suffer. Is there any doctor/specialist/patient/wellwisher who can help me with this.

I wish I could tell you there was a way to save her but unfortunetely I don't think there is. My dad died of a brain tumor and he fell into a coma towards the end. It's been 21 yrs. since he died and you would think that they would have come up with something to save people from this dreadful cancer. You could check with Johns Hopkins where I live in Baltimore, they do experimental surgery's on people and sometimes seem to save them or prolong their lives. Brain cancer is a horrible way to die. My dad suffered really bad and nothing seemed to help. I didn't want him to die but as his cancer progressed I couldn't wait for him to be at peace and stop his suffering. I wish you luck and I pray for your friends mom. If she is in her last stage it's really not much more that could probably be done.

Sound like the doctors are doing all they can. I understand it pains you to see your friend hurting. There are just a few thing you can do to give his mind a break from the pain he is enduring. For one thing you are doing great for trying to help in any way you can. And also by just being there. But there is something else. You can ask him questions that helps him to remember the good time. The times he did stuff for her, the time they laughed together. You might have to coaxing him along. Well maybe you are already doing this but this is something. Sorry I could not be more help. Good Luck

The definition of 4th degree cancer is that it is inoperable, and that the medical profession effectively say there is nothing they can do. My manager had brain cancer, he had a young family, they opened up his skull, and closed it again, saying it was inoperable. It was a big shock to all of us.
If you are religious you can try praying to St Jude the patron Saint of lost causes. You may consider faith healers, but that may also be traumatic and a waste of money. If you really want to help your friend I would recommend reading some of the Books by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross such as "On Death and Dying" and "On Grief and Grieving". They are very wise and helpful.

Take a look at the site below which explains many misunderstood things about the cancer industry, and has some natural cures too.

I just recently lost my husband 7 months ago, to cancer,stage4, the only thing I did,of course I prayed,trusted God, but I called in hospice in the hosp. they took over,gave my husband morphine for pain, he lived 24 hrs, but at least he wasn't in pain, and he died very peaceably.
hope this helps. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FRIEND.

you probably do not have skin cancer- but see a dermatologist because you do have something going on.
