Hi am newbie hear too but have been reading the forum for a while. I help a neighbour who is in a nursing home in end of life stage of lung cancer. I am sorry to hear about your Dad. Although the person I help is not family we are very close and I remember those days and weeks of shock all too well (we thought she had another illness).

Please be gentle with yourselves and take each day as it comes. All the Best x

Dad still not had treatment as waiting for the biopsy to come back to see what treatment he can have. Which we have an appointment for next week.  We had to go hospital yesterday as dad said he did not feel right and pain other side. We went to hospital and X-ray was same. So we thought ok that’s good nothing has changed.  They decided to do a scan as thought it was blood clot. When results came back we was told everything has doubled in size. 

To say we was shocked is an understatement.  In 6 weeks from finding out and now it’s doubled. We was told at the beginning that there will be an unlikely change whilst we was waiting for all results and tests to come back but then get told this. We have another week to wait. I don’t know whether to cry or get angry. How has this happened when my dad was happy working on a roof 7 weeks ago and I feel it’s too late now for him to have any treatment. 

I’m trying to be strong and positive  for everyone 

I am so sorry your all going through this! Have they said why its grown so quickly and given any indication of what will happen next?

I know its so so hard as its such a shock and if your like me your mind goes off in all directions but try and stay positive. He will be in great hands and things should move quicker now x

Shazmandoo (((hugs))) I am sorry to hear this news about your Dad. I am really hoping there is something they can do to help him. Please come here and vent if you need to. Please take care, you are being listened to x
