Hi, I'm new to this site and to Cancer. We just lost our Mom in March at 68 years old. The Lord took her in her sleep at 68 yrs old. Most likely heart attack. We just found out Friday that my Father has lung cancer. Still waiting for biopsy results for the specifics. I guess the Drs were able to tell by looking and by the quick look at the biopsy in the lab at hospital before they sent it away. They don't feel it's small cell... And most likely has already spread to his liver and possibly spleen because they saw enlarged noids in those areas on ct scans of abdomen. He also has back pain and headaches a lot. I'm trying to not give up hope but from everything I'm reading it doesn't look good. After we get results from biopsy they said they are performing a PET scan to see where else the cancer may be then they will formulate a plan for his care. We are then considering taking him to U of Penn in Philly for a second opinion. If anyone has any advice to share please offer. I'm also worried about his "strength". Newly widowed and still mourning the loss of my Mom is not helping...Thanks
