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
