Two week's ago my dad was told he had Lung Cancer. they said the tumor was wrapped around his heart. They are doing cemo and radiation on him and are hoping to be able to remove the tumor as long as it shrinks. They said if it doesn't shrink than there will be nothing they can do for him. He was told it had been there along time that it was slow growing. they also said they would have to remove 1 lung that is only funtioning at about 5%. the other lung is good and the Dr.'s say the cancer has not spread. I am so scared. I don't want to lose my dad. He has such a positive attitude about all of this and say's he's gonna beat it. He said he doesn't believe he's going to die but LIVE. I am so proud of how strong he is. everyone in the family is alway's saying positive thing's to him. I would never tell him Just how scared I am. anyone out there with something like this going on or have had it happen in the past please re-ply. I need some word's of incouragement, because I'm passing this on to my dad. I also never knew that my dad knew as maney Jokes until now. He has such a good attitude so positive. Deep in my heart I am scared but I also feel as though I'm going to have him around for a long time. He's 66 year's old which I think Is still young!!
