IS THIS A MIRACLE OR ARE THEY WRONG AGAIN!!
If anyone has read my previous posts you may know why i need your help.
In dec 09 dad has a biopsy on a tumor in his armpit. Doc told us then he was 99'/. sure it was lymphatic cancer and was easily treated.
Then
On xmas eve dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and was given weeks to live. 6-12 months with chemo. We have been completely heartbroken.
We then found out the primary was in his windpipe with secondaries on both lungs and also a huge tumor in his armpit which has been his only symptom.
anyway his chemo started on thurs 14th and he was given a massive dose that lasted nearly 12 hours.
He was admitted to hospital on sunday 17th and is still there now.
he was there because he was bringing up blood and could not physically eat or drink anything he could not swallow.
Today he woke up feeling well and ate breakfast
At 3pm today his consultant came to see him and said "i'm so sorry mr ........ but there is a possibility that i may have got your diagnosis wrong" WHAT?????????
He said he has now (4 weeks later) sought a 2nd opinion and now believes he has 'germ cell cancer' which is curable.
WHAT??????????
Dad told us all tonight and he is obviously delighted but we were all in shock and also angry very very angry that we and dad (who had accepted his fate) have been put through this.
I have now come home and researched this and it all leads back to testicular cancer and mainly in children.
Nothing i have read tonight though gives the indication that this is what dad may have. He has tumors on his lungs, windpipe and armpit. He has nothing 'downthere' what so ever and nothing has shown in the scans etc i just don't get how ther have come to this conclusion.
We are all in shock and want to believe there is hope but how can we when it seems so far fetched.
Please help me.....i need some answers. xxxxx
