Thanks for your reply Free, yes time has passed and we are are clear as we can be at this time.
Dad has commenced treatment, six weeks of radiation therapy combined with one day a week chemo. Two weeks in he is doing well and I've been amazed by his appetite!
I'm expecting him to become tired and unwell at some point but it hasn't happened yet.
No one in rage medical profession is talking cure or life expectancy. They talk positive about him having some time left Si I guess that's a positive.

Hi, my father who is 68 years of age has just been informed after a CT scan that he has 4cm defined lesion at the right upper lobe of his lung. The report also indicates that his lymph nodes are abnormal measuring 10mm and 15mm. It concludes by saying that the lesion is suspicious and that there is evidence of ipsilateral hilar and mediastinal metastases.
Of course that does not mean a lot to use but we consider that it’s serious. He has been referred to a general physician to determine what is happening and the wait is quite stressing. He is a private patient but they are saying it could take a week to get an appointment.
We are confused about what to do about plans we had over the next six months and whether to cancel them or just sit back now and wait to see what happens.
We are all just feeling numb and helpless. I am wondering what this means and don’t want anybody to hold back any punches as I need the truth of what he is facing. If you can provide us with more information that would be great.
I am sorry to post this but just feeling numb and helpless.
