caseyrae Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi, I am new to this site, my name is Casey. My husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor April 29. It was successfully removed the very next day. However, it was malignant and we were told he has stage IV lung cancer. Adenocarcinoma a large 7cm tumor in his lower left lung and another 3cm in the upper. Also mets on the adrenal glands and liver. He has just started his second round of 4 chemo sessions, every 21 days he gets dosed with 3 different kinds. I am on a mission to find out all I can that might help him. He was just 56 April 28 and we've been married 35 years. I am glad to find such a helpful website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna G Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi Casey. I too am so glad you found this site. I know going through this is really hard and you really need info and support. Glad the brain tumor is gone. The chemo should be able to reach the lungs and adrenal and liver. Pray that they respond to it and it knocks it dead. Keep us posted.

Carleen Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Welcome Casey, I'm sorry you are in this situation needing to find us, but glad you did. There is so much support, caring and knowledge here. I too was a caregiver for my husband, and although I'm not experienced with Adenocarcinoma there may be things we've experienced that are similar. I know there are others on here with the same diagnosis who will be along and offer you greater advice. For now, I offer my prayers and warm wishes. I pray this triple dose of chemo wipe the heck out of that cancer. It's been done before, and can happen again. There is no reason your husband can't be one of them. God Bless!
