This is such timely news for me in a very unfortunate way. I just found out this past Thursday that my dad has cancer. They found the cells in his lymph node biopsy, but I'm 90% sure it's lung cancer that has spread (considering he went to the doc b/c he was coughing up blood and was a smoker all his life until six years ago). We find out more when we see the oncologist in two days. I wanted to post and ask for advice or for anyone to share their experiences. When I saw this thread, I was once again reminded how many people are affected by this horrible, scary disease.
Daddy is 70 years old but looks and acts much younger; he has always been so healthy. I am only 29 and do not have any children yet. My mom passed away five years ago and can't stand thinking that my children may never know their grandparents. I am an emotional wreck right now and having a hard time dealing with the idea that his days are numbered, no matter how I look at it. It can move so fast.
