Cat Scan today...
Neck, throat and lymph nodes CLEAR!

However, three "new" suspicious spots have shown up on my lungs.  They are VERY small...but they were NOT there last July when my last chest scan was done.

The doctors said, sometimes treatments for Head/Neck/Throat Cancers chase the cancer to the lungs.  

SO....antibiotics are prescribed for ten days to be sure it is not just remnants of an infection showing up... (hmm sounds familiar...same medical course as last year...)

In two months, another Cat Scan; March 20th.  The "spots" may be from an infection...but...I have not been "noticeably" sick.

Anyway...if the spots are gone...great!

If the spots are still there, or they are larger, or there are more...then we start considering courses of action ranging from surgery, to chemo, to radiation...and possibly a mixture.  It all depends...

There was no discussion about the severity of "lung cancer" and survival rates...too soon for that "lecture".

So...here we go...

Thanks to you all for visiting this blog.  NOTE...you CAN participate/comment in this blog...it is NOT password protected.

All the best to you and yours...

Dan Fath...fighting LUNG Cancer...

UPDATE April 2, 2014

My brother was diagnosed with lung cancer a while back and had 32 radiation treatments and goes in Monday for surgery.  It looks like they will have to take 4 maybe 5 ribs to get the entire tumor.  He is weak from all the other cancer that ran his body down, so we are praying for a second miracle.  

Thanks...Kevin...

It's Chemo Time...and the prognosis is NOT favorable.

Can you imagine these coming Holidays and being with your dear
family, and seeing one of your family "dying" before your eyes?  Pray for Dan...your prayer will fortify Dan's FIGHT, it will lift Dan's family's spirits.  It will make their last Christmas together...

Thanks...
I know you prayer faithful
I know you will pray.
