I feel so stunned.  My mom just told me.  He hasn't been
feeling well for a while and after an x-ray and a cat scan,
his doctor said lung cancer.  He's a 17 year colon cancer
survivor.  

I feel like crying.  They didn't sound too bad, but they
tend to keep things to themselves.  He's having a pet scan
next Tuesday and a biopsy on Wed (needle, I think), and an
appt w/the doctor Feb 4.  The doctor mentioned  radiation.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad, a diagnosis always bring shock waves and a
rollercoaster ride ahead, I wish you and your family well and hope that the
ride isn't too tricky.

Warm Hugs

Thanks, Alayne.  24 hours later, I've calmed down a bit and
am taking a let's see what the tests show attitude.  Mostly.

Thanks, J.  Yes, I guess it's a wait and see situation.  I'm
calmer about it for the moment.
