  1. Thank you RandyW, That's what I'm afraid of. After my dad smoking for 40+ years I never expected this. Please pray that the local lab was wrong. I'm more scared now than before. Thanks, Maggie
  2. Thanks everyone for your warm greetings. I just got home from visiting my parents and the initial biopsy results are melanoma. Believe me my eyebrow went up and I went silent when I heard this. I thought isn't that skin cancer? He said the doctor says it is rare, but a very aggressive cancer. Has anyone heard of this? The samples were sent to different locations and we are still waiting on results from one out of town. He is getting PET scan next week on Wednesday. I have already mentioned a 2nd opinion and he agrees. This is so hard, but I want you all to know the strength you gave me just reading you interact with one another and share stories whether great news or not so great. It has really helped me to open my eyes and see things differently. Thanks
  3. Dad emailed me as soon as I made my first post on LCSC. He talked to the Doc and it doesn't look good. They can tell what type of cancer it is from the biopsy right? What should be the next step? It just seems everything is in slow-motion. I'm sorry to ramble, my mind is racing.
  4. Hi everyone, I don't know if I'm ready to post, but with the warm offer how could I refuse. I've been lurking for about a two weeks now and I am so grateful to find this site. My Dad (stepdad) went to urgent care on 7/23 because he was coughing up blood the entire weekend before. A chest x-ray showed a 6 x 7 cm mass on his right lung. His biopsy (ct guided/needle) was 8/7 and we are yet to know what we are dealing with. My mom is in complete denial and feels everything is going to be fine. My dad and I have tried to discuss a few things, but she always interrupts and changes the subject. I understand her feelings and have decided to just be a support for both of them in anyway I can. The biopsy went very well for him, he didn't even take the pain medication they offered. He said the site where the IV was located was more sensitive than where they did the biopsy. The radiologist said they were able to get 3 samples and we should hear within the week. The dreaded waiting game. I'm so grateful for everyone here. You don't know how much you've already made an impact in my world. Thank you
