  1. Boy, did I screw that up. Sorry folks. See below.
  2. I've tried to list everything as closely as possible. The last talk with the lung cancer coordinator at the Oncologist's office indicated that Dad is probably Stage 1. They are looking at building up his lung function with medications, then removal of his entire right lung, followed by chemo & radiation. Dad's spirits have really improved since he sees a glimmer of hope now. I'm scared of what treatment will be like for him. He seems so weak to me. I think I need to hear some truthful stories from you folks who have been there, about what exactly my Dad will probably go through if he's able to have this surgery and chemo. Thanks again. I'm so glad you are out there.
  3. Sorry that last post was me EDRJR, I was on my sister PC and didn't switch over. Thanks Guys!
  4. Me again guys, by the way my sister is awesome. My Dad lives in Lebanon, MO near Springfield, MO. We also have family near Little Rock, AR, Lynchburg, VA Memphis, TN and Austin, TX. He is currently being treated at Cox South in Springfield, MO. Any info on second opinions and or treatment centers in any of these or close to any of these would be great. My Sis is getting the list of all test and treatment like you all have posted on your posts, so she will get it on here ASAP. Thanks again, you are all awesome people.
  5. Hello all you wonderful people! I'm so glad my brother found this site, and plan on making full use of it. We will hopefully be getting results of Daddy's PET scan this afternoon, and one of us will post them. I got very scared this morning, as we all live out of town, and Dad is being stubborn about letting any of us 5 kids stay out here with him. I talked with his nurse this morning getting his prescriptions lined out and she mentioned that he might be moving to a "home health" situation sooner than we expected. I saw an advertisement for Cancer Centers of Amercia-can I get some input on where you might think we should reach for some second opinions? I have no idea where the best area for treatment is, but I want to know we exhausted all options before we just give up. Dad is very frail but he is feisty and I think he is receptive to a second opinion, but I want to make sure it's a QUALITY second opinion. Anyway, glad you are here, thanks for the good info, well wishes, etc that you are sending our way.
