Thank you all for responding. This definitely is a wonderful group of people. We are now into day 4 since his first chemo. My husband is experiencing much pain in his legs, especially his right leg. I called the Dr. and she said he should be feeling better by tonight or tomorrow. We have been up for 2 nights. The first night was his breathing and last night was the pain in his joints. I do hope that the poor man can get a better nights sleep tonight. I am praying for all of you those with this terrible disease and those who love and care for them. Again, thank you for your responses.

Hi. I am new to this site. it has been a very difficult summer. On May 30th, my husband had seed implants for prostate cancer. In July, I had a tumor removed on my neck - thank God no cancer. August, we found out that my husband has stage iv small cell lung cancer w/ 2 lesions on his liver. He went through the entire month with all tests to see where the primary site was. I guess the way it looks the Dr. was not convinced it did not start in the lung. Thank God cancer has not been found anywhere else. He had a hard time with his liver biopsy(Dr. was not good). My husband seemed to grow weaker and weaker since the liver biopsy and the Dr. was sure that it was not the cancer. The Dr. was right, he lost 3 pints of blood from the liver biopsy and needed to have a transfusion and replaced 2 pints. He seemed better so they moved on with his first chemo treatment which was Friday. He came home Saturday afternoon with no reaction to the chemo. However, in the middle of the night he experience shortness of breath which I believe worsened due to anxiety. I would love to hear from either a patient or caretaker who has experienced this. We are trying very hard to stay focused on positive results but as you all know it is extremely hard. Thanks for listening and my prayers go out to all who have cancer and their loved ones.
