We just found out my father has stage 4 lung cancer and I'm going crazy!! I have so many emotions and questions I can't stand it! It's only been 3 weeks, yesterday I felt so good and postive and today I was angry and right at this moment my heart actually hurts. So many different feelings.

I know how you are feeling I lost my dad in 1998.
He was my world,and a void in my heart will never be replaced.I don't and probably will never understand why the doctors didn't catch his lung cancer in time,he was in stage 4.I watched my mom struggle and have nervous breakdowns time and time about my dad.In 2005 she was murdered,my only consolation is that my parents are not suffering anymore...no more pain...and no more tears.
Even though I am left her with the burden of missing them.
I will keep you in my prayers and love your dad every moment.

I also can understand this. My dad was dx with stage 4 lung cancer in Dec of 07 and it has been a rollercoaster ever since. Im sorry to here about your dad, I also cannot see a world without him in it. It helps me to be involved, I go to all his treatments all his dr visits. I take notes and keep a log of his meds, chemo, blood count and weight. If nothing else it makes me feel like I am helping in some small way. Do you live close to your dad?

Good luck to the both of you. I wish you strength during this, you will need it.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
