Brain Dump-My Daddy is dying

[rosebud]

I really don't know what to do here. If you guys remember my mom passed was when DS2 was 3 weeks old. I really don't even remember that maternity leave. I was kind of looking forward to this one. We found out in May Dad had a lump on his lung, biopsied in June, operated on in July. 7cm tumor removed. Doc asked Dad to get an MRI of his brain "just in case" (Dad has *no* symptoms). The MRI was yesterday and with 2 hours the Doc had called and scheduled and appointment for this morning. I called into the appointment. 7  "very small" lesions in the brain. Stage IV lung cancer. Worst case,4-6  months, best case a year. I want him out here (He's in CA) to spend as much time as he has left with the boys, and that may mean moving 9 months pregnant AFTER DS1 starts Kindergarten net month (the support structure isn't there at all in CA). I've already spent 40 minutes today at church crying to my priest. I've powwowed with my brother, father, husband and will be calling the in-laws after the boys are in bed. I've got he headache from hell too...

I am so sorry.

A friend of mine was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer, metastasized to the brain. She was "given" 4-6 months, but actually lived another almost 2 years, and was still able to be out & enjoying life (albeit in shorter spurts) until the last week or so. I hope the same will be true for your dad.
