Thanks for your responses, I know there is so much that can be done, but it is still pretty darn scary. He has a CT scan on Fri. for his chest , then the onc on the 28th then the gamma on 30th so hopefully his lungs are still stable, although he has been coughing alot more and has had alot of plem. He also has asthma and that has gotten worse. We have been pretty darn lucky so far when I read about all the treatments that all of you have had. We have alot of friends and family for support, and that has helped us be so positive. We also have horses and I do believe riding them is very theriputic[sp] Thanks again Debbie

Hi been coming on this site for quite awhile, so I guess it is time to tell my story. My 47 yr old husband on Christmas day 2008 had a seizer stoped breathing my kids had to do CPR on him, then off the ER, CT scan revealed a tumor next to his motor skills area which was causing his leg to twitch. They operated 4 days later, did a biopsy and then we got the DX NSCLC stage IV. Two weeks later we were recieving WBR, if I would not have still been in such shock I am not sure we would have done it. Then 2 chemo session, cat scan and mri, nothing changed, so they decided to stop the chemo sence he was not doing to good, sleeping alot, confused, not eating. It took a couple months for him to feel better, and camping is what he wanted to do so we went camping a total of 26 days this summer, right before July fourth he had scans done, and they found something on his Pancreast. Had biopsy on July 10th, could not find anything? But still there. Now he has another brain tumor, already so the WBR did not hold it off for very long. He will be getting Gamma Knife on Oct 30th. He seems more tired and his short term memery is getting worse, but he is still doing pretty good, we have tried to stay very positive as I believe it helps so much. It's the new brain met that has me worried[/img]
