My husband who just turned 45 was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer on Friday, Oct. 13. He is now unable to work because of the severity of its spread into his bones, etc. He's been to two oncologists - MD Anderson in Texas and Karmanos in Detroit - we are now heading to The Cancer Centers of America in Chicago, hopefully this week. We have no children, but I feel your pain and fright. He's had three cycles of chemo - paclitaxel and carboplatin- once every three weeks since his diagnosis. He has suffered from dehydration, anorexia and now plurel effusion - fluid back up in the lungs. No on has given us any hope until we talked with cancer centers of america. We hope that is our answer. You will be in our prayers.
