My mother has lung cancer, is there a new drug out there. Is it "sudent" not sure about the spelling.
Question:
Answers:
A new drug has been approved to treat both advanced kidney cancer and a rare form of stomach cancer when other therapies fail to help.
The drug, Sutent, is the first cancer treatment to be simultaneously approved by the FDA for the use in two distinct forms of cancer. This drug was deemed so important to patients facing these diseases, the FDA gave Sutent priority review and approved it in a mere six months. It is one of the latest forms of treatment which targets specific cancer cells, as opposed to chemotherapy, which seeks out any rapidly-dividing cells.
"[This] approval is a major step forwards in making breakthrough treatments available for patients with rare and difficult-to-treat forms of cancer." said Dr. Steven Galson, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research in a press release.

You'll find more about it on the web site but I doubt it would help your mom since she has a lung cancer. My mom was just diagnosed with stomach cancer but we do not have the opportunity to get this new drug in my country so she is stuck with chemotherapy .
I know how you must feel since I am going thru the same thing . my mom wont even be at my wedding . and she might not be here to see her grandchild .
Be strong and believe that everything is going to be alright.
Good luck

ATTENTION: IF YOU LOVE YOUR MOTHER PLEASE DO NOT GIVE YOUR MOTHER ANY DRUGS AT ALL. ALL DRUGS ADMINISTERED THROUGH THE FDA AND THE PHARMACUTICAL COMPANIES ALL CAUSE DISEASE.
It's this simple: ALL CANCER IS DUE TO A TOXICITY OVERLOAD OF HEAVY METALS, FOOD PRESERVATES, AND AN IMBALANCED PH LEVEL (ACIDITY IN THE BLOOD)
Consult a alternative health care practioner who DOESN'T USE DRUGS OR SURGERY
