Hi my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer on 19 December 2014, the prognosis was good, they would be able to operate and he may or may not need chemo, but they wouldnt know till after the operation. He had the lower right lobe of his lung removed on 9th January 2015 and discharged from hospital a week later, with the news that the surgeon had removed all of the cancer, he would be reffered to an oncologist for follow up treatment. His first appt with oncologist he was told he would need chemo, and we needed to build him up after the op in preparation for the chemo,6 weeks later on his 3rd appointment with the oncologist, he was no better, still in severe pain, and no weight gain, it was decided to send him for a further scan, which resulted in being told that the cancer was now attached to his chest wall, twice the size of the previous tumour and an operation was not an option. They sent him for for ten blasts of radiotherpy, Following the tattoo session of his first appointment we were then told it has spread to his lymph nodes in his chest, and his right adrennal gland. The radiotherapy did not shrink the tumour but it did ease the pain. He then started his chemo, which involved a full day at the unit every 3 weeks, he had his final blast on Fridat 10 July, he had a final scan on Sunday 26th July to see how the chemo had worked. unfortunately he took a turn for the worse and I had to take him to hospital on the Monday, were they started treating him for pneumonia. We finally got the results of the scan on Thursday to be told that the cancer had spread to his stomach and his liver, but they were still hopefull, however by this time his stomach was so swollen he looked pregnant, a further scan showed the cancer had spread dramatically in the past 5 days, there was no more they could do for him, but keep him comfortable, they stopped all medication except morphine, We were devastated and did not know what to say to each other. He died on Monday 3rd August. I still cant believe what has happened, i feel so empty and numb, I miss him so much. Reading some of these posts has been helpfull, because you realise that, this is happening to a lot of other people.
