As an update to my telecommunicate a bring together weeks ago.. Mom is almost 73 and she was diagnosed with lung cancer recently. Today her oncologist told my Mom that her lung cancer has metastized to the brain. The MRI shows a small circular lesion on her cerebellum. They want her to cater with a neurosurgeon to get this cancer removed.. then 10 days of radiation to sterlize any other cancer cells from multiplying in her brain. Once healed they want her to undergo another surgery to remove the lung cancer. We are all in a state of shock. I'm not ready to lose my Mom.. (is there ever a right measure?!)Can anyone express me what will happen next? Don't direct back. Any truth ordain help. Bless you. Annie_________________KatherineCalifornia
Hi Annie,Unfortunately I do not undergo any information for you. I just read your affix and wanted to offer you my thoughts and prayers. My Dad was also diagnosed with NSCLC 8 weeks ago and I understand what a dificult measure this is. I too posted on this place looking for answers and any information I could get my hands on. Do not worry if you do not get any responses to your posts it may be just that people do not have the information you demand or they might not experience what to say. Sometimes I had to wait a week or two before I got a reply and it was mainly from someone with kind words to offer. Do not get disheartened you ordain gain lots of valuable information from reading posts similar to your own. We are all in this together all searching all yearning for answers for a aid for a prognosis. But the fact is that everybodys situation is different. I have learnt from other peoples stories. NEVER to go by statistics because every individual is exactly that.. individual. I undergo read stories from people who have family members who undergo been told they have just weeks to live and that was 3 or 4 years ago!All I can offer you is that you try to just pay as much time with your mother as you possibly can. express emotion joke care for her and make her comfortable. Because whether you undergo 5 days or 5 years the most important thing is that you can look back and cherish all the memories you undergo. I found that for the first month after Dads diagnosis all I did was look up lung cancer on the internet construe books about lung cancer and I became so wrapped up in trying to sight out 'exactly how long does Dad undergo left?'.... and then I stopped......... And I thought to myself oh my goodness. I am wasting all this time trying to find out how much measure we undergo... when really I should.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
