We recently lost my Mother in Law in February from cancer. She was 86. Now yesterday my father in law fell coming out of a resturant and broke his hip. When they took him to the hospital, the doctors informed my DH that Dad has Lung cancer and that it has spread to his brain( he had had an MRI that day). The doctors scheduled the hip surgery anyway. Today they gave him a CT scan and told my DH that he has cancer all through his body. DH called me tonight and said Dad has decided to have the surgery tomorrow. His children told him about the cancer and he says he can beat it. (didn't tell him how serious it was). What gets me is he has been going to the doctors for months and was hospitalized once for anemia. He has blood tests all the time to check his levels. He also has a nebulizer to help him breathe. He just had a clean bill of health from the cancer institute last Novemeber. I just can't imagine how all these doctors missed some sign that he has cancer. I wish I could be down there with DH I would certainly want to know why. I keep telling DH to ask questions but he is so upset I don't think he is thinking right now. Anyway I would appreciate your prayers for Dad as he undergoes this surgery. They have told them its a 50-50 chance of survival. Please pray for him to survive this surgery. Thank you Micki
