My brother in law, John, has found out he has cancer. As of yet we are not sure what type but the doctors have found it in the pelvis, 7 ribs, tumor on his lung (which they were to biopsy today) and advised us last night that he has several pea sized spots in his brain. Everything I am reading points to him being in stage four regardless of the type of cancer as it has spread to so many places. He is in so much pain. His chemo doctor has changed his meds to a liquid morphin every three hours along with a morphin patch.
We, as a family, are scared out of our minds. John is switching between anger, acceptance & denial. Today, they were supposed to do the biopsy and he was instructed to eat nothing after midnight, he got up at 5 a.m. and had toast "cause he was hungry" then got very angry because he didn't see why they wouldn't continue with the test. I can't understand why he would do something that would stop the test knowing how important it is to find out what type of cancer it is.
I have read some of the postings on this board.....I see our family in so many of them. My heart goes out to each & every one of you. I know that mine is breaking on a daily basis. We are all trying hard to make the time that he has happy and full of love. Thanks for listening. Even if no one reply's to this I feel better after typing this.
