Good luck. My wife is still in the diagnostic stages, but seems pretty advanced. We get our PET scan Wednesday and will have more perspective then.
Good luck with your journey!

Hello.
My wife went into the hospital last month after a long bought with what we thought was a bad cold, she was hospitalized when it turned into pneumonia. That was treated, and the cold cough has gone but now she has a persistent deep cough, she keeps spiking fevers to about 102, she has absolutely no energy, her liver enzymes and kidneys are both coming up with bad tests for function. Her X-ray, CAT scan, and lung biopsy all are consistent with cancer. We get our PET scan Wednesday. I know I am a bit premature here as we will know after Wednesday, but this sure sounds like a pretty advanced set of symptoms. We go to surgery near the end of the month.
Any thoughts or guidance? Pretty scary stuff.
