LUNG CANCER LIFE:

My husband got through his operation.I think in my last post I mentioned that he had a surgery planned in January.Well,We went to his pre admission check up,and after examination,they arranged " IMMEDIATE " surgery.The operation was four hours.It is a week today that we were wondering what effects would happen and When? The doctors advised us that he will be recovering for at least 3 months. My Christmas Blessing is to have him back with me.We have been given a little longer. My health is holding up.My lungs are painful at times lately though.I find it is starting to hurt when I breathe.I know though that I must kick in more now that my husband needs me,so I will be strong enough. I see my cancer Doctor at the end of January.I am getting worried on that appointment.I feel like the cancer has spread into my other lung.If the cancer isn't spreading,then as we speak I must have pneumonia ,again."The lesser of two evils". I am strong and will be able to get through...

My doctor appointment is January 31st.I will find out if I have reached "stage 2" in my "lung cancer'. I have just had and am having a new crisis..My husband has been discovered to have an aneurysm in his aorta.In laymen terms ,he can have a heart attack at any second, We went to the hospital 4 days ago,they were ready to operate with open heart surgery.He was told that they would operate on January 2nd. I have always been one to be possitive.I am now utterly in shock with this happening. How much more can one handle. My husband and I have been together for 41 years.He looks after me.Now What. I am myself still recovering from my"lobectomy'8 months ago.We are still both in our fifties.This is one heck of a test or something. My husband has always looked after me and all the responsibilities.I do not want to focus on me right now either so it is tough with me knowing that I will die soon,and even more frightening to not know when or if my husband is not far ...
