  1. Yvette - I feel exactly the same about my Dad, and I too find it a bit strange that my Dad knows he is dying and I have never been in this situation before.

    It is such a stressful time for you but I am sure everything will happen in due course for you and your Husband - good luck :)

  2. Yvette - we had the same problems: first we were told that Dad might be a surgery candidate then they said not as it was in the lymph nodes, then they said he would have Radiotherapy, then they decided that he could only have chemo (as I had always thought my Dad had unreasonable delays in between his tests I was so frustrated and anxious)and then when we first asked for Tarceva we were told as its not available in UK that there was no way my Dad could have it. My family are paying for it privately for him and to be honest with you at the minute you wouldnt think he was so ill - he seems better now than he has for ages !. We take one day at a time and keep saying our prayers - you never know do you ?

    Hope your Dad manages to get Tarceva and that it helps him. Let me know how you get on.

  3. Hi Yvette - sorry to hear about your Dad, I know exactly what you are going thru as my Dad has just recieved the news that he has less than a couple of months to live. He was told during chemo that his tumour had shrunk and that his cancer was stable but at the end of his chemos his CT scan showed spread to the other lung and pleural effusion. The Onc said there was nothing else they could do for him - we were all totally in shock.

    Dad is now taking Tarceva as a last hope but obviously we have to wait and see if it helps him at all.

    Take good care of your self and give your Dad a big hug.

    Love

    Dawn
