Yesterday Donna and I went to see our doctor to find out our options. He told us it looked localized to him and set up an appointment in the afternoon with a surgeon. He told us Donna has one year without the surgery and 3-5 years with having her left lung taken out. Donna was very upset last night. She is doing better this morning. She is off for testing to find out if she is able to have surgery. I am sure she is. She is scheduled for surgery Monday morning. It is pretty difficult for both of us right now. TomD

Oh Tom, that's so hard to hear. My heart goes out to you and Donna.

Be safe. Be kind.

Hugs to you both. You're lucky you have each other, and you'll get through this somehow.

TomD My heart goes out to you and I will keep you two in my prayers. Even though we've never met......never even shared an exchange on these boards I have been following your updates and now I'm sitting here wiping back my own tears for you and Donna. In late October my Dad.....64 yrs old.....had a primary brain tumor removed. Stage 4 He is almost done with his radiation treatments. He still has another round of chemo to do. Statisically, prognosis is 14 months. Obviously we're hoping for much more. Fight the good fight.

Tom & Donna, I am so sorry to hear of your troubles, There really are very few words to describe the feelings, and emotions you both must have, and very few words I can offer to help you feel better..... Surround yourself with your family, for that is where you will find strength. Our prayers are with you and Donna

Hugs to you and Donna. We're all pulling for you. Believe me Tom, I know it's hard, but put the statistics aside. Whether it's 10000 more or a lot less, make every day count. Skip

I don't know what to say. You both will stay in my prayers. When I had my liver surgery, he told me 3-5 years...my oncologist told me only God knows when we will be called home and he is right. Stay positive and please keep us updated.

I missed where it was found that Donna had cancer... feel like I missed a lot in a week! So sorry to hear this news, Tom. Prayers for Donna and you as you figure out the best course of action.
