My papa is like a father to me and I have always looked up to him. He just found out he has kidney and lung cancer at age 55. I cannot lose him!!! I can’t make it without him either. Does he have hope?
-the CT scan showed a big black spot on the lung with a bunch of tiny spots and on the kidneys are a lot of tiny spots.
Answer:
There is always hope both you & your Papa have to have faith. As long as he get treatment straight away & they’ve found it early enough anything is possible. Just keep believeing that he can get through this as hard as it is going to be. Just don't give up hope. God bless i hope all works out for you
Answer:
Tell your Papa to go to Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida
Answer:
I have some recommendations for the caregiver, whether this is you or someone else:
1. Don't delay. This stuff is fixing to spread if it hasn't already done so.
2. Assuming you’re in the US get to a National Cancer Center for treatment or failing this to a hospital associated with a major university. Where you are treated is really important.
3. Learn as much as you can about his disease.
4. Always accompany the patient to physician visits, ask questions, take notes, become a team with the docs.
5. Never be afraid to take a second thought. Any doctor worth his or her salt will welcome this.
Good luck!
Answer:
Of course there’s hope. How much depends on how advanced the disease is. As the previous poster said, involve yourself in the meeting with doctors , pay attention. i am recovering from head and neck cancer therapy and don’t know what I would have done without my wife there to ask questions and take notes. I admit I was a bit too overwhelmed to do so. The same might be true for your Papa, so help him handle this. I wish him and you all the best.
Answer:
Medicine has made great advances in the past 20 years. Cancer is almost Cured! Hopefully they have the ability to save your Papa. Or at least give him many more years. People can live much longer now with cancer. Make the most of the time you have with your Papa. Build Memories and take a lot of pictures. He’s probably not going to be as strong during treatment. and will want to sleep more. Just be there for him and let him know how much you love him. Be strong for him. God Bless you and your Papa!
Answer:
Don't worry until it's time to worry. The kidneys might be normal,and you can live on one lung.Just support him and
ask him to do some chores for him while he recovers.
