laban Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Oh Peggy, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing and your brother's diagnosis. You will be able to get through this time and one day look back and know that you were there for both of them. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Peg24 Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 My brother lives outside of Pheonix Az. ,in Casa Grande. Can anyone recommend a good oncologist there or Cancer Center? I know right now while he is in the hospital, he is being seen by a cancer doctor, but if he doens't get the answer he wants to hear, he will need to find someone else.

mhutch1366 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Peg, I am sorry to hear about your mom. Your brother's cancer type may affect the calcium levels. Pancoast tumors, the kind I had, will do that. In any case, I'm sure your brother can find treatment options to suit him, and a doctor he can work with.d Good luck, and keep us posted.

Flowergirlie Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Peggy, I am so sorry for your suffering and the loss of your mom and now to have your brother diagnosed, it does seem too much for someone to have to endure. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I wish I could say more to help you through. Flowergirlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Sadly enough Peggy your family history of lung cancer pretty much sounds like my family. Read my profile below. I'm very sorry to hear you lost your mom. It did sound like she had given up before she could get started. That's sad, and for that I am sorry. There are some very good cancer doctor's in Casa Granda. My Ex in-laws live there and they say they have many wonderful doctor's in that area. Just tell him to find one that he feels comfortable with. And tell him t find one that is willing to fight the fight with him. Wishing you all the luck and tons of support.
