So sorry to hear this shocking news Mallyh. I've been reading about it and some people with this, depending on age and general health, can go on much longer than predicted time with treatment. Wishing you all inner strength. X

[mallyh]

thankyou all for your messages ,why do awful things happen to nice people ?

[Sqad]

Certainly not the best news in the world..........but does he know in which part of the body it is and particularly what type it is on biopsy.?

[mallyh]

pulmonary Sqad apparently the worse kind

[mallyh]

I may have that wrong we,ve heard so much our heads are reelling just told it was the worse kind .

[Sqad]

Well, certainly not the best kind, but he needs to be "worked up " as far as type and metastasis (spread) are concerned.

[mallyh]

what does worked up mean please

[Sqad]

^^^ blood tests and X-Rays (MRI scans)

[mallyh]

he has had these ,at the moment he isn,t well enough to receive treatment .

[pips1]

Just looked it up as I had no idea what the condition was. I am so sorry this has befallen your family and I hope you find the strength within you all to fight this. I know it is easy for us to say but the fact remains we do care on here.
