Well it is a good thing that I work M/T/W as they wanted to see him a week today! When my mum explained I couldnt get there they said come this Friday... so saved another week of waiting!
Not sure what to expect - we know he has cancer in his lung, we know there were several suspect dark patches in other parts of his chest [hence the op to get samples to biopsy]
Still not been told what stage of lung cancer he has - will they offer this information on Friday?
As dad hasn't had any treatment for his lung cancer yet [all been about tests and making sure] then will he be told on Friday what treatment options he has?
Will the consultant give more than one option or is it what they say goes? Not sure that with the different options I know enough to help them make a decision - any ideas on this?
If dad needs treatment over a number of weeks - is it possible to have treatment transferred to a hospital near to where I live and have him stay with me whilst he goes through it? Mum and dad could have a bedroom here and lots of support on a daily and nightly basis [at the moment I am in Derby, they are in 40 miles away and treatment is in Sheffield]
Feel a little empty - feel a little anxious
Life throws us some weird stuff and it is how we deal with them that matters...
Have a wonderful Wednesday and make a smile spread by sharing it!
