Hi everyone.

My dad had a ct scan back in November where a mass was detected in his lung and shadows in his lymph nodes.

Unfortunately the hospital lost the results and it was until March (after chasing for months) that the results were acted on.

The follow up tests showed that by then the cancer had spread to my dad's spine and hip as well as more lymph nodes.

The biopsy showed that the cancer is small cell lung cancer.

My dad has declined chemotherapy and at the appointment on 22nd March was told he may have a couple of months but may only have weeks to live.

Since then we have discovered the cancer has spread to his eye (you can actually see the mass in his iris).

The thing is, my dad is really well. He's still doing DIY and cleaning the house (carpets included!) and we are already at 6 weeks today since the diagnosis.

What I'm wondering is if anyone has been through the same thing and experienced someone being well like this with this type of cancer (first detected 6 months ago) and if I should prepare myself for a sudden and dramatic decline?

Thanks everyone 

Sarah
