Hi gang, Just found this site. I have questions....First I am in the middle of nursing school so I do have some knowledge prior to this diagnosis. My dad (mid 50's smoker most of his life) was…Continue

After a long and courageous fight, my father lost his battle with lung cancer.He was diagnosed Aug 6, 2009. He went through 3 lines of chemo. He was about to start a 4th line despite the research showing little positive. Up until this point to look at my dad you would never know that he was sick. He was a big burly guy. They decided to put in a port to administer this line of chemo. As a result on Nov 11, 2011 he had a massive heart attack. Stints were ordered and somewhere between the…See More

Glad to hear that she does have people around her to help...that counts for a lot.
As to the subtle asking of what is good...very nice ... I tried subtle with my mom...didn't work, but everyone is different. I am sure…"

Does she have some form of support other than you? Does she have anyone else that has gone through this that can validate her feelings?

"Niti & Amy,
Great minds think alike. That is precisely why I am asking now. I definately plan on visiting soon, but thought that it is A LOT easy to research when not in crisis mode :)
Thanks for all your help!"
AmyLCA replied to lovingdaughter's discussion Travel Discounts
"I agree with what Niti says about doing the research now. I would also recommend getting on the phone with someone rather than emailing. I'm all for email communication (probably too much for my own good!) but in…"
Niti/MOD replied to lovingdaughter's discussion Travel Discounts
"My best suggestion would be to do all the research now. Perhaps you can visit in times of non-crisis when they are going your way and have room. In a time of crisis, it will be nice not to have to do all the investigation.
Best,…"

Thank you so much!"

Hey gang, I hope this finds everyone doing well and recovering from a blessed holiday season. So, last week Dad ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. All is well now and he recovered rather quickly (aside from the albuterol sending him into a-fib and being cardioverted) Wheeeww. Needless to say I was on the phone multiple times daily...how do you feel....what are they doing....what is the plan ... etc. It also got me thinking...for emergency purposes does anyone know of airlines giving…See More
