Donna G Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 He had Cisplatin and Gemzar. The pet scan showed that it responded and got smaller in his lung but---------it showed a spot on his R pelvic bone so--------the Dr. told us now he is stage 4 and will need chemo until---- We went to a second Dr. last week and he ordered a biopsy of the spot on his pelvis. He said it would be strange for the lung to respond but spread somewhere else so--------------now we are waiting to be told what that report says.

Treebywater Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm so sorry that I missed this when you originally posted this and that now you are fighting the beast with your husband. I'm glad that the lung has responded and praying about this spot in his bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Last tests of my husband showed the cancer was not only in the lung and lymph node, later followed by the Right hip, now they found it in his spine.l They changed his chemo again but that really made him so sick!! He got so much pain, dehydration, messed up Blood sugars and electrolytes he was hospitalized and then I took family leave from work to be home with him. They changed his chemo again to Taxotere, some side effects and the dexomethozone still messes his blood sugars but not nearly as bad. I pray this does the job.

MaryTD777 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi Donna, I am so sorry your husband as having such trouble. When I started reading this thread, I was just so happy to see that you kicked butt against a pancoast tumor over 16 years ago. I have a pal coming up on 11 and I am 2 years from Dx and will be 2 years from surgery in Aug. While this isn't the happy, Hi how ya doin, I would have liked, I do want to tell you I will have some prayers for both of you. You probably know this, but just in case ~ he should be eligible for SS Disability under CAL (Compassionate Allowances) http://www.ssa.gov/compassionateallowances/ I hope this helps if you haven't yet filed. hugs, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna G Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Friday after they did a spinal tap, the doctors told me that the lung cancer was in his cerebral spinal fluid. It was causing Meningitis with symptoms of sleepiness, confusion, no appetite, stiff neck. They told me he has 1-3 weeks left. I am so tearful now. I also am so greatful for all my neighbors and friends who continually ask me " what can I do for you?" Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
