Guest ginagage Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 My name is Gina, and my father was just told that his small cell lung cancer has entered the recurring stage (i.e., it came back 2 months after being announced cancer free). The cancer is now in his liver. We're all in shock, sad, and stressed. My Mom and Dad are currently living with me. They had retired and were traveling in their 5th wheel, then Dad got sick. I'm thankful that they are with me so we can support each other. I signed up for this online support group so I could have a place to "vent" while I'm at work. Thanks for letting me share.

mamasbabygirl Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Wow Gina, it sounds like your parents got to live their life long dream that so many do not. For that, I say "Good for them and thank God!" Try to focus on that and everything else hopefully will fall into place. Glad you found us. We are here to support you in whatever way we can...
