I am so sorry to hear about your dad. My father has also been diagnosed with lung cancer that has spread to the brain this July. At this point we aren't sure where else it has spread. He has done 10 sessions of full brain radiation, and now is to start chemo. He tried taxotere on friday, but was allergic to it. So we go back this friday to see what other options there are. I will keep you in my thoughts. Hang in there, believe me,I know its tough.
