| reply to simplykristi My dad went to see the pulmonary specialist this morning. He has a tumor on his right lung that his pressing against his esophagus. There's one lymph node that is enlarged and a small spot on the liver. My dad will have a biopsy tomorrow. We will get the results Mon. or Tues. of what tyope of cancer he has. He will have a PET scan on Wed. to see where there are other areas.
Thank you for all the good thoughts, mojo, and prayers. They are very much appreciated.

| reply to simplykristi My dad had his biopsy today. It does not look good, gang. Not good. My brother and I went with our dad because my mom had some dental work done. The doctor told us that the tumor was blocking his right bronchial tube and was probably large. The tumor looked angry. That tells us it is aggressive. We will know the results late Tuesday afternoon. I couldn't get out of the waiting room w/o crying first.

I'm sure that you and your brother being there for your dad and mom as the doctors figure out the best course of action is doing them a world of good.

| reply to simplykristi I take it your dad had a bronchoscopy today? Please don't have total despair at this time. If it is localized in the right mainstem bronchus and has not spread, laser bronchoscopy may be an option to open the airway and make breathing easier for your dad.
No matter, our thoughts & prayers are still with your dad and the rest of your family.
Take care |

  simplykristi Cancer Sucks Premium join:2001-11-28 Metro KC | Yes he had a bronchoscopy today. We know the cancer has spread. Surgery is not an option due to his emphysema. Radiation and/or chemo would be his only treatment options.

| That doesn't sound good at all. Any way you cut it, this is not good.
None the less, I will keep my prayers going.
I remember my grandfather being diagnosed with leukemia. The doctors gave him 3 months to live. He lived 1 1/2 years.
I know it is tough. But try to keep your spirits up. Your dad will appreciate that. |

I walked into the kitchen a little bit ago and Mom announced to me that she has blood in her stool. I asked her how long she had been having symptoms. She tells me the last couple of weeks. Gang, my mom probably has colon cancer... That's the reason for the spot on her lung. I am furious with her PCP for never scheduling a colonoscopy for her. I can't believe this sh!t.

| reply to simplykristi We got the official diagnosis a few minutes ago. It is small-cell lung cancer. We won't know the extent of the spread until after the PET scan. Surgery is not an option since Dad has emphysema. Dad's treatment will probably include radiation and chemo.
