Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such a thorough answer Tom. I can not tell you how much I appreciate it.

My dad was diagnosed with something about two weeks ago. I know it is some form of non-small cell lung cancer/ adenocarcinoma but no one will give me any more information than that. My parents don't want to talk about it and tell me when I call them I should just talk about what my kids are up to etc. and leave the details to their doctors. I want to respect what they're saying but at the same time I'm very upset and feel in the dark. My brother lives near them and I believe knows details but says he's too upset to talk about it. I live across the country with three little kids and based on what's going on I want to know if I should be visiting every few weeks, every few months, etc. He starts treatment today and will have targeted radiation five days a week for six weeks and chemo therapy once a week for six weeks. Based on this treatment does anybody have an idea what type of diagnosis they believe he has?
