Hi My dad`s first xray was back in October last year!! Is he classed as a one year survivor yet? Not sure !! Love Donna

Hi folks Thanks for all your kind replies they mean alot to me... I`ve been on a high all day yeah, my dad is a star and I love him Donna xx

woo hoo Dad went to onc today we were all expecting bad news, onc says tumor is reduced by 50% so he`s going to do radiotherapy to try to kill the rest.. Mom sent me a text to tell me. I was dancing round the kitchen crying (silly moo) Just really happy its shrunk its better than anything I`ve known

Hi Friends My dad went for his chemo on friday and mentioned a rash that he has to the chemo nurse, they then informed us its an allergic reaction to the chemo so he cant have it. Damn. He has got to go back to see onc on the 6th September to discuss a different form of chemo or a lower dose. Dad now wishes he hadnt said anything because he had only got 2 more cycles to go!!! Anybody have any encouraging comments, we are all down hearted now more time passes without treatment, how much bigger is this monster getting while the treatment stops. What other chemo is good out there he was on gem and carbo. Sorry for the long post feel slightly better for ranting Love and Light Donna

I have 2 is that allowed Am Dram is something I`ve just gone back too and I love it not as confident as I was before though And until dad was diagnosed I made cards for the local hospice to sell, cant seem to get back into them at all

Hello and welcome Its great to hear good news stories This forum is an excellent place to be, helpful kind people

Thanks for the last 2 posts, I did get the impression that maybe I shouldnt have vented.. Its just that everytime I get my head together that 2 by 4 knocks me off balance again Thanks for your support

No Becky of course its not about me, my feelings and thoughts obviously count for nothing..but hey

Just to much at the moment my head is all over the place...

My other halfs mom rang yesterday to tell us she has got lung cancer!! How much more crap are we going to have thrown at us...

Hi guys Thanks for all your advice, took dad to doc last night, he`s got some pain relief now thank goodness. Doctor seems to think its siatica(sp).. As apparently dad used to suffer with it a few years back... Hoping that the doctor is right but I have to admit that I`m worried dad`s cancer has spread to his bones.. Love and light Donna

Evening all can anyone help with this question please dad is in alot of pain today its in his hip and leg, is this to do with chemo? love and light Donna

It really gets my back up when people ask that question!! Its as if they are saying that people with lung cancer deserve it. My doctor actually said to me about dad "well he smoked for 60 years so what do you expect" I could of slapped the doctor

bless thats just made me cry

Hiya Another day another smile... Dad has the hospice nurse coming to see him again today, she is lovely so cheerful and helpful... She pops in every now and again to see how he`s doing and if we are all ok.. Couldnt be there today though little one wanted to go to bed.. Love and light all Donna

Hi Everyone I`m feeling slightly better today after my rant yesterday, you are all so kind and helpful Love and light to you all Donna xx

Can I ask a question too Dad is to have 4 cycles of chemo he has had 2 now, do they scan him before he finishes all cycles or would they have a look now? I`m so praying that its shrunk the beast Donna

Hi Thanks for replying and yes you are right there will never be enough time with my dad.. I want dad to be here forever and ever and I know its not going to happen, I`m going to do like you said so mine and dad`s goal is to see Chelsea go to school on september the 6th... I`m 29 years old and feel like I`m about 14, dad isnt any older to me he`s still the same as he always was, its hard to take him having cancer cause I can see the effects of it on him.. Would it be wrong to say I wanted dad to die of old age peacefully in his sleep? Donna
