Palliative Chemotherapy in 1st stage
My 66 yr old mother has small cell carcinoma limited stage and the tumor is around 3 cm in right lung.. Our doctor gave us chemotherapy for 3 days continuously but I read on the paper that it was written "Palliative Chemotherapy"
Why is this? The cancer is not advanced, it is in limited stage, all test done, no metastasis found.. then why Palliative??
Please tell me 🙏
