My husband was diagnosed with rectal cancer stage 4 in 02/07. After 3 surgeries (1 was a complete miss with big chunks of good lung tissues emoved but the small sub-cm tumor left in the lung), radiation and chemo, we thought that he would be cancer free. After recovering from his last lung surgery end Feb 08, he had a scan this week and found that there were 3 new lung tumor nodules that grew within the last 60 days during his surgery and recovery. We were devastated and we both felt that this is it. We had 4 kids under 13 years old. He's now going out doing things he want to do but didn't have a chance because of the responsibilities, probably thinking that he is going to die soon. I don't want to live in fear and am losing sleep every night thinking that he will be gone soon. Can you share with us your experience and bring us some hope.
Also I have to say the experience with using different famous institutions and doctors have not been very pleasant. They were unwillling to work with each other in the best interest of the patient.
God bless!
