Sad and Confused :(

My dad was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago with lung cancer. He hasn't had an offical biopsy yet but the doctor pretty much said it was stage 4. He has cancer in the lung which has spread to his liver, pancreas, kidneys, and there might be a spot in his brain. In November of 2011, he was diagnosed with PVC with his heart. On February 29th of this year, he was told he has cancer after having a chest xray my mother had to ask for from the doctor, which the doctor wasn't even going to do. (having a misdiagnosis doesn't help anything) He is only 51 years old, still so young. I am so sad and confused as to what to do. I try to stay positive and take it one day at a time but it's so hard to do seeing him upset and suffering. Everyone says have faith and stay hopeful, but it's easier said then done. I am 21 years old and can't bear the thought of my Dad not being here. Any advice would be very helpful!? :(

I'm a little confused about your father's diagnosis. If his lung cancer has spread to all those other areas, it is definitely stage 4.
For your father's sake, you need to keep yourself as together as you can. Yes, faith does help if you let it. If your father is terribly upset (or you either, for that matter) there are drugs that can help with the anxiety. 21 is very young to be thinking of the loss of a parent. So don't think that way. One day at a time should be your new moto. Praying for peace and strength for your family. Deanna

Hi, I understand your feelings and as hard it may seem you need to be strong for your dad. One thing that I will tell you is that we are only here for a short time here on this earth this is why it is so important that you make sure that your father excepts Jesus as his savior. Then he get to enjoy eternal life. My little girl went thru what you are now going thru at the age of thirteen, so if she could make I am sure you will do just fine. I understand that it seems like a bad dream one which you cant seem to wake up from. God Bless you son.

Treatment is based upon sub-type. Do you know his specific subtype such as adenocarcinoma or EGFR positive.
