Well..it is not the news we hoped for.
Stage 4 adenocarcinoma in the left chest, with lymph node that is also cancerous. We cannot attempt chemo because the hearts ejection fraction is 47% and it should be 50% or above. Plan b is hormone therapy taken as pills daily. The Dr will see him every two weeks and he will have blood work and pet scans from time to time. If the tumor responds and shrinks then he will have surgery. If it does not shrink we will have to revisit the plan a of chemotherapy…which may cause death.
We are sad and discouraged, it will take some time for everything to sink in. Thank you for all the prayers.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the disheartening news. I have prayed and prayed but I don't think I have much clout. It sounds like there are options though and your doctor seems to be vigilant. I think that rainbow is a good sign! Hugs to all of you.
