My husband is 51 & has been diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell lung cancer with metastases to his spine & liver. The metastatic cells in his spine caused his thoracic vertebra to burst causing spinal cord compression, it was being treated for his spinal fracture that they found it was cancerous. He's had spinal fusion & cord decompression surgery & is trying to be able to walk again. We've been together since our teens, have 2 beautiful daughters, 2 adorable grandsons & 2 batty dogs.
