Your post made me cry.  Why is cancer so destructive and why can't they figure it out after all this time.  I don't have a definite diagnosis yet - just found out on Monday.  CT scan this Friday.  I am so terrified that they will tell me I only have a month or so to live.  Only my husband knows so far.  I haven't had the courage to tell my 3 daughters yet - they are 27, 29 and 30 but it's going to be really hard.  I'm barely holding myself together.  My hands are so shaky since Monday and I get these chills which is unusual because it's been so hot here in PA.  I understand about the baby coming.  My youngest just had a baby 2 weeks ago.  I'm supposed to be the babysitter when she goes back to work in 4 weeks. ...

Hi Andy, I just saw your post.  I'm so sorry.  I was just diagnosed on Monday; waiting on CT scan on Friday and waiting on call from Cancer center - now 2 days and no call for appt yet.  Guess they aren't in a hurry but I am.  I have to know what's going on asap.  They found 2 cancer cells in fluid drained from my right lung and that's all I know other than the dr said it was ADENOCARCINOMA  so anything with carcinoma in the word can't be good.  I look at all the info I can find and it doesn't appear that I may be here very long.  I just retired on June 1st and had so many plans and everything has gone right down the tubes.  What is your cancer?  I'm new to the site and still trying to get around.  My love and prayers to you.  Debbie1957 ...
