Husband Update.

Roy's appointment was as expected. Nothing we didn't know already. He has inoperable, incurable small cell lung cancer.The doctor said chemo MIGHT buy him more time. It is not worth it, in our opinion,as the quality would not be there. I am surprised the doctor even offered that, as chemo is not indicated for someone with severe emphysema, like Roy. Roy's lungs are full of holes from the emphysema, and the first round of chemo could kill him.Roy told the doctor no chemo and no hospital. He also told the doctor that he is not going to bankrupt his family for something that will not cure him, or not even guarantee him more time.He refuses to be tortured in the time he has left.

So, we don't know how long he has. If he didn't have the emphysema, he might make it a year. Generally, people with his diagnoses have only about a 1% chance of making it 1 year. With the severe emphysema he has, we figure maybe 4 months, maybe less, maybe a bit more.

A good friend of ours had the same thing as Roy. He went on chemo and died 7 weeks later. His lung cancer hit him out of nowhere, just like it did Roy. One day you are OK, and the next you are in the hospital with a death diagnoses.

Thank you for the prayers, my friends.grouphug
