About 6 weeks ago, my father was complaining about feeling run down and lethargic, with unusual aches and pains. Fast forward to now, he's dropped 45 lbs, and has been diagnosed with Stage 4 small cell lung cancer. Without chemotherapy, he was given about 6 weeks to live. He's begun chemo now, and his doctor says it'll add about 6-9 months to his life.
We always knew this could happen, as he's smoked cigarettes for over 50 years. Now it's reality. And it's ugly.
They say at the very end stage, the lungs fill up with fluid, and you drown, basically.
Hopefully that can be avoided somehow, but the whole thing is a disaster.
Has anyone here known anyone who has dealt with this?
Any advice is appreciated, feel free to PM me.
