My 87-y.o. dad was just dx through CAT scan with probable adenocarcinoma.  No intervention recommended because of his MANY health problems and age.  I have requested CT report.  We are now concentrating on quality of live and palliative care.  As a survivor myself (OVCA 1/01), I know it's impossible to predict "how long."  But, can someone who's been through similar circumstances tell me whether this is an aggressive cancer, are we looking @ 6 mos. or less???  Thanks, Kathy

Hi Kathy. I had nsclc, squamus cell. All I can pass on to you is that my oncologist told me that it was a slow growing type. How that would affect your Dad would be best answered by his doctor(s). They don't volunteer a lot of information, so you have to be persistent with your questions. Best wishes and prayers to you and your Dad.
