My father was 75 when he was diagnosed with NSCLC - squamous cell carcinoma.
Now he is 77 and after a 6 mo respite, the cancer has returned and he is
again undergoing chemo: taxotere and gemzar. Orig. started with taxotere and
carboplatin but that caused internal bleeding. After 6 mos chemo and 6 wks
radiation the tumor (if it existed at that time) was invisible on tests.
I understand what a frightening - no terrifying time this is for your father
and you. But don't give up hope; medicine is better than ever nowadays and
prayers can get you places you never thought you'd walk. God bless you both.
