FreeBird,
You gave all your love, time and energy to your Dad and you still had time to share all your painful knowledge with all of us. I just got this sad news because we are in the hospital since Friday. My husband has a very bad infection. We don't know the origin yet. Take care FreeBird, you are in our prayers.

Hi Freebird,

These questions with LC are getting crazier by the day. I question the reality.

New here, sorry to be here but so glad I have found this site.I am in Largo ,caring for my mom. Only symptoms right now is extreme fatigue. Praying for you and yours.

New to this....not sure how I stumbled on this wall.....desperate for insight...my husband was diagnosed with mastatic (sp) neck cancer with unknown primary. He has load of lymph nodes in his neck and clavicle area as well as on the hilum. He has had a round of chemo which made the nodes on the hilum on the bronchioles, not "light" up. Then he had another round of chemo with radiation that ended April 4th. He developed a severe respiratory infection and ended up in hospital for a week. Was told pneumonia .....then told it wasn't. Seen by 3 pulmonologists no answers....he was released and no better than when he went in. Severe coughing 24/7 over a quart of phlegm per day. Color varies from yellowish green in the am to clear or frothy in the pm. History of asbestosis but now I think the cancer has spread and this is our issue. The pulmonary doc saw something suspicious on the ct scan. Our oncologist at Moffitt does not want to see him, said it is not cancer related or treatment related. Our primary has no clue how to help. He just keeps or ding meds that do absolutely nothing. I'm at a loss.....has a pulmonary appt on the 12th also trying to get him into the Mayo clinic....should hear mid week. How do I help the cough? He is so weak...he literally falls over sideways on the sofa as he can't catch his breath and is out of energy from the cough. He is taking Musinex, and Tussinex as 10mg prednisone daily. Sorry for the rambling.....it's either ramble or cry....any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi Free Bird,
Thanks for your immediate response.

Would it be alright if i quote the comment you made on dealing with the daignosis of terminal cancer, I loved your philosophy on this subject and would like to share it with my fellow Lung cancer survivors on Inspire.

Hello Freebird,
No the numbers are just like they are posted which I guess is not the norm, but
he did have metasasis to the liver during the first increase on Gemzar ,numbers were 8 and elevated to 45 in2 months and now on folfox and numbers went down
to 11 and now at 15 in 2 weeks. Scared because of the initial experience, I guess there is nothing more for chemo to give after this, What do you see?
Thank-you for the info
