Julieshay Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I lost my daddy to small cell lung cancer a year ago. I just want to see if there were others out there who have either lost someone from this cancer or a survivor. I am a breast cancer survivor . thanks Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julieshay Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 My daddy was diagnosed with small cell and had a ct of his head and his cancer has spread to his brain. He was given 2 to 3 weeks to live. We had him 3 months but he was so sick with radiation and chemo. He never had one symptom. He was going to back surgery and had a lung X-ray, and it went from there. He told us please make sure you ask for a chest X-ray and he hoped that they would be covered by insurance as preventive. He helped me through my breast cancer I had a double mastectomy. When he was sick I told him I felt guilty that In could have surgery to remove my cancer and he could not. He was not afraid to die he said , he said when I cross over I will be well. On the day he died we as a family where in a prayer circle and my brother read aloud psalm 23 , daddy favorite scripture. On the last word of the scripture he left this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
