The difficulty I have is that I am writing this in the computer room of my parents' house. My adult sister also lives here with...
New years day was the same as any other day for us Bert fell asleep on New Years eve at teatime and slept until 11 am he did wake twice for tea but never drank it as he was asleep before I got it upstairs. y his friend came round but he would not wake up until much later so he got to see his friend for 5 mins and fess asleep again while talking to him.

Hi there. You can see from my profile that I have only my left lung remaining and that has a form of cancer that here in Spain they call adenocarcinoma broquioloalveolar recidivado. The result is that I am extremely short of breath and it is getting worse month by month. Is there anybody out there who has any detailed knowledge of this type of lung cancer and who can offer me any adivice as to the progression of this disease?
