mydaddy

I am not sure what to say at this point. Second chemo treatment has gone well. Dad's doctor gave him antinausea medication this time for the first three days after treatment. Well, on day 4 he started getting nauseas. He is still going strong. Keeping busy with everything he can think to do. He gets tired and has to sit and rest. Sometimes go to bed and sleep. He started losing his hair and he got mom to just shave him bald. My daughter thinks this is funny. She say now he looks like daddy. I am going crazy. My husband is still in Texas and I am in Mississippi. It does not look like we will be able to be together any time soon either. Mom is trying to keep active with dad which is causing her lost of physical pain with the fibromyalgia. They have no insurance and no income at this point. Disability has been filed but no answer. I am the only person working. Got a pretty good job with opportunities for advancement. It is getting later and I don't get much time to get on the puter. Next update coming soon.

I am his daughter. Jan 8 my dad had xrays xray showed dark spot on rt lung. the next week he had a cat scan that showed fluid on lungs and lower lobe of rt lung fully collasped. 2 lliters of fluid was drawn from his rt lung. some relief with the fluid removal. pet scan shows 3 masses with lymph nodes and adrenal gland involved. no surgery possible. decides on chemo and radiation. first treatment goes well. nausea and vomiting on days 2 and 3. otherwise feeling good. gets weak on and off.but continues to work in the yard and goes wherever he wants. I have just moved in with my parents to help with thier care. Dad has stage 3b lung cancer and mom has fibromyalgia. And my 8yr has ADHD. Mom and dad are unable to work. My husband and I are seperated. He can not move for another 30 days. I don't know how long dad has to live. Mom is a nervous wreck. My daughter is bouncing off the walls. I am holding on.

I am stress to the max. I have some idea as to what to expect. I am scared to death. Being a CNA and caring for others with cancer gives my some understanding, but it gives a big ugly picture to. If you know what I mean. I just pray that I have the strength to care for all of them. It anyone has any advice please feel free.

Hello, I am Rebecca. I just found out yeaturday that my daddy has stage 3b lung cancer. I am 35 and am planning on moving in with him and mom to assist with his care. Mom has fibromyalgia and can not do much. So it will be up to me to care for the two of them and my husband and 8yr old daughter.
