Hello again,
I thought I'd give a update on my Dad.
Well the lung Dr. my dad was seeing has turned out not to be the best (so we think). Yes, he wants a Thoracic surgon to cut him open. Yes, my dad has had a lung biop, brain scan and a PET. With all these test the lung Dr. told me. He was in Stage 2 maybe 3 with "hot spots" to the lymph nodes. The surgery would be the tell all, I guess.
I should also mention that my Dad has lost the use of his left hand in a matter of 2weeks 2days. This started with the fingers moved to the thumb then hand .......
Today we saw a Oncologist! (about time I think) He was the bearer of more bad news........ He says my Dad is Stage 4 with a small Met near the spine. He also says my Dads loss of his arm use is due to a stroke! Yes, we where a little shocked over that. These 2 little "tibbits " was something the lung Dr. should have seen and told us about.
We are still going to meet with the surgon "just" to hear what he thinks. Ater that we are going to have the "new" tumor that was just found bipo just to make sure it is cancer. After that start cemo.
Strangely I feel better, I'm not sure why. Maybe because I'm involved?
I've been so stressed out, understandably of course.
Everyones words of encouragement are helpful that is for sure.
Dave your story brought tears to my eyes....... I hope you post pictures of your 50th party (in 18yrs ) I'm sure everyone would love to see them.
Thanks all, Michelle
