My dad has non small cell lung cancer, and has been getting chemo and radiation.all of this starting since july 6th.He just started to lose his hair 3-4 days ago.I am scared for him and my mom and me.I am an only child, i am married, but have no children. My mom and dad and me ..we are close...I just am so worried...I worry alot.Please pray for my dad, that his pet scan is negative for any cancer.I pray for all of you who are suffering as patients or suffering as family of patients.I am a nurse...its so different when its your family....God help us all.

Good nite all...Kado.

    Hello Kado
    Sorry you have to be here on this site but you'll find wonderful
    and supportive people here.

    Since you are a nurse, I'm assuming you're fairly knowledgeable about
    what's going on. However, that doesn't change the fear and anxiety
    that comes with all of this.

    You and your family are in my thoughts and sending
    positive energy your way. Please let us know how things
    are going and hang in there...

    Big cyber hugs,

    Jim

    prayers lifted
    For good results for the PET scan and for grace for all of you to deal with whatever you face.

    A dad is a special person to a daughter: I lost my dad to cancer 23 years ago yesterday. He took every treatment available and I know what a gift that was to his family. He would not have had it any other way.

    Cancer treatment has come a long way, Kado, as I'm sure you know. There are good outcomes every day from even the most frightening prognosis.

    Hugs. Let us hear from you.
