Donna G Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Shelly I am so sorry. You asked what are the odds of 2 parents. Ask Connie B. She has lost her mother, father, sister and she herself has lost her left lung. In some there is some genetic link I think. Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Oh Shelly, Kiddo, I know just what your saying and going through. The only thing I can say to you is, I'm HERE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED AN EAR OR A FRIEND THAT has Been there, done that! IT SUCKS my dear, IT SUCKS!!! I lost my mom and sister 8 months apart from one another. My mom was dx.d in March of 1987 and my sister was dx.d in May of 1987. What a whirlwind of emotions that year was. My dad died in 1970 when I was just 17 yrs. old. ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((SHELLY))))))))))))))))))))))))))) You know you can PM me at any time or if you want, we can chat via phone.

kimd Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Shelly: Many prayers to you and your family! I was shocked when I read your message and feel so much pain for you. The closest I came to something similar was getting a call that both my parents were in an auto accident and I had to drive six hours in the middle of the night to get to them. I didn't know most of the trip if they were going to pull through. They were both helped by God at the scene -- was truly a miracle they survived. I remember the feelings of thinking I was losing them both at the same time (my dad actually did lose respirations for awhile). Somehow, I made it through. When my dad was dxd w/this terrible disease, my mom questioned why they were spared 4 yrs ago -- to go through this? Somehow I believe God gives us the strength to make it through these things. Hope your dad's lc is limited and he gets good results with chemo. Will be thinking about you and your family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glo Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Oh, Shelley -- no, no, no, no, not again. There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said.

norme Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Shelly, I just can't believe this. I was so sure it wouldn't be. This to happened to my mom and dad back in 1971. My mom passed on with lung cancer in August and my dad's was found in December as I can recall. I know it was around Christmas. All I can say is hang on tight for you have been there before and know what to look out for and how to help. You will be a terrific caregiver once again. Never underestimate your own strength.
