I had posted before but wanted to update .. They did the VATS tuesday and they found that it is an agressive Lung cancer ,they are not positiveabout methosilioma that will take a week they say to get those results ... We had hoped it was not in the lymph nodes .. it is .. they thought that he might come home yesterday but he required 7 on oxegen and his rate was 90 going down at times to 88 if that makes sense ... He was on morphine so he has not made a lot of sense .. that worrys me .. last night after working with him all day on hte blow bottles as i call them even tho you suck , he seemed more lucid off the morphine last night ..
I hope he comes home today . can anyone tell me what being in the lymph nodes means .. we are at the VA the surgeon is great but will give nothing more than 2 months to a year and is setting us up with a on cologist but in the meantime i am just so sad , depressed . I am depending on a lot of prayer and faith . I am just even alone now because they will not let me stay up at night at ICU at hte VA .. they willl let me in at about 9 so am heading up there now .. I have stayed close at a hotel and it is hte first time really being alone I am 55 he is 65 .. it seems sad i quess that i am so dependant on him but yet I am ... I love him so much .. Please pray and can lymph nodes spread to the brain or where does it go from there or general ideas if anyone has any .. I understand right now it is located in the right lung with many lymph nodes involved and he had the tube put in for drainage .. because of plueral effusion
Thank you all so much
Sara
