Mother With Lung Cancer?
Posted: 10-30-05 10:32am

Hi I am new to the forums.

Here is a brief introduction of myself...I am tracy, soon to be 29, am a mom to a 7 year old son and expecting another baby on the way..Due in march 2006.

My mom who is 46 was diagnosed with lung cancer in november of 2004. She had surgery done in jan of 2005 and had 3/4 of her left lung removed. She then had to undergo 7 weeks of radiation 5 days a week.

She is doing much better now and the radiation has helped and she is now on medication but they have also found two more tumors inside her body. One in her spine and another in a cell. Right now they are just keeping a close eye on her as the other two tumors are not active at the moment.

I am very scared. She lost her mother from breast cancer at the age of 47. I was born that same year my grandmother was sick and she passed away I was barely a year old. My mom had also lost her great grandmother to cancer (who is her mom's mom) at a young age as well from a form of cancer (at age 46) so you can all see the trend here.

I feel aweful. I am pregnant and due arround the time my grandmother passed away and I guess its really touchy with me.

Anyways sorry for rambling. And thanks for taking the time to read.

Tracy
