My mom got diagnosed with lung cancer about 9 months ago. She had half of her right lung removed. She also has amphysema nd is on oxygen. Her pulmonologist told her that he did not think her lungs could handle radiation or chemo and if she went to see the cancer doctor he would make her do it. Her lungs should have sealed in 3-4 days after the surgery but they took 6 weels. My mom never went to the oncologist. She fell and her pain wasn't getting better so she went to the doctor. She now has bone cancer at the bottom of her spine and in the l5 disk. I feel so sick I can barely function. My mom is in a lot of pain. We took her to emergency Sunday night because she had so much pain in her leg. She is coming home today. She starts radiation on August 7th and possibly chemo after that. My mom just turned 71 years old. I am not ready to lose my mom. I love her so much. I have a 4 year old little boy who adores his grandma. I just don't know what to do...............

Hi Ann,
I know what you are going through. My mom was diagnosed 3 years ago with melanoma, she just found out Friday that it has metasized to her lung and spleen. I'm scared and don't know where to turn sometimes. it's only my 10 year old and I.
Take care and you and your family are in my prayers!!!!
Lots of lovies and huggies and prayers to you,
