I would say that the hardest part for me is the waiting. First,our doctor said lung cancer,then there was a CT scan and chest xray. Finally,
a bronchoscopy and PET scan. Now,my mom and dad finally met with the oncologist today for a formal diagnosis and staging. So the waiting in between tests is bad. Not knowing anything. Once you know what you are dealing with,you can figure out what to do about it.
Treat your dad as you always have. Maybe say things you didn't before. Let him do whatever he feels like doing. And most important I have found is telling the people you love that you love them every day.
