Andrea Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 It is BAC all over both lungs. They did a few wedge resections to be sure. We are beyond shocked and devestated. He had no symptoms. It was a horrible scene when we got the news. I was at the hospital 12 hours and I am sedated now. Good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen335 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Andrea, I am sorry you have to go through this with your dad. I know it is early and have not had time for a plan on treatment... Please look into Cyberknife. They have a brand new office in San Diego and the doctor's are phenominal. Dr. Smith is the radiation onc.. He has been doing CK for years in Oklahoma. I was very impressed with the professionalism,one on one attn and knowledge. I would suggest at least a conultation. Check out www.vyberknifesupport.org/forum Yhere are real doctors you can ask questions, they respond very quickly... I start treatment there next Friday... Please keep us posted... Prayers for you and your family... Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Oh Andrea, I can't believe this. It is beyond devastating to have to go through this with another parent...and for your mom to now go through this with a spouse. I was looking at your registration page for the walk and thinking how cute your parents are together (love your dad's hat). Just remember many of our long term survivors here have BAC. It is slow growing and chances are your dad will be here to see that baby when it comes. Can we do anything for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you already know this, but give yourself a couple of days, even a week or so, and you will be ok and ready for the fight. You mom has done well, and your dad will, too. They are both very strong, and you are a lot stronger than you think you are! I'm praying for strength for your dad, for you, and for your mom.
