Default O/T: Still Smoke?

Just received the following from my daughter about her uncle,
(My Ex BIL).

Born in 1945, a heavy smoker all his life, looks like the big "C"
finally got him.

If you still smoke, might want to think about it.

It's never TOO LATE to quit.

Nothing to enjoy about this one.

Hope you enjoy the weekend and Happy Father's day.


I have some bad news that I thought you might want to know about.


Uncle D was just diagnosed with Stage IV small cell lung cancer.


It's already spread to his liver, adrenal gland, lymph nodes and
brain.


Hard to believe!


He wasn't even feeling really sick.


Just thought he had a sinus infection.


They gave him 6 weeks without treatment and a year or more with

treatment.

He's starting brain radiation next week.


Apparently chemo doesn't work on the brain. Who knew?


After 3 weeks of radiation, he'll have a week off and then start
chemo.


The good news is small cell cancer responds very well to treatment.


The bad news is that small cell cancer usually returns.


We'll have to wait and see and pray.


So, who knows about Uncle D.


Maybe the treatments will work and it won't come back.


Anyway, hope you're feeling ok.
