Dear Lilyann
So very very sorry for all of your complications. As someone said, live your best life! My husband too is suffering greatly right now as a result of the radiation. After having four liters of fluid removed from his lung (pleural effusion) he can breathe a little better, but has a constant irritating cough. And the fluid removed shows cancer cells. An upcoming Petscan will show what and where. He, and I concur, have already decided not to fight it this time. More radiation and chemo is just not in the picture. He will let the cancer take him, hopefully with palliative care and many many pain relieving drugs. He will likely be given a time frame as you received, Lilyann. Such sadness all around. We have one loving daughter who is devastated by this. We send you our best wishes …
🙏🏻
