My husband has had lung cancer for almost 2 years. We just received the results of his latest CT Scan. The doctor said it's not real bad but not good either. The mass on his right lung has grown slightly and the nodules on the left side have grown slightly. They also found something new right next to his kidney.

He has been on chemo for the full time since he was first diagnosed. He has not had a break. He has been on 3 different types of chemo and this week he will start with a new chemo. Actually he has been fortunate so far. He has had the side effect which effects the nerves in his feet and at times he is in a lot of pain. But we are thankful that he has made it this far.

I have been extremely stressed out for the whole time and now I feel even worse. I have to do all the chores in and out of the house because he can't do too much. Aside from the extra physical work involved, I am also mentally stressed most of the time just from not knowing what's ahead. But I thank God for taking care of us this long.

Thanks for listening.
