I had to literaly pick her up off the floor and place her in a chair. After a series of tests including an EKG, Lung XRay, multiple blood tests and finally a CT Scan... we were told that she has an advanced case of lung cancer. Now this is a secondary cancer that has originated from we don&#039;t know as of yet. She is scheduled for a CT guided needle biopsy of the outer part of the lung as well as the liver and pancreas in the morning.<br /><br />She is as of this writing in no pain, a little light headed if she trys to stand and is in overall good spirits.<br /><br />This has taken us by total surprise, as she has not experienced any symptoms as such. We felt that she was mainly run down, dehydrated and with low electrolytes. She is 87 years old.<br /><br />I will be back at the hospital in the morning by 6:30 as I am going to bed. I have had only 3 hours of sleep since last night at 5:30.<br /><br />Just wanted to keep my friends informed.<br /><br />Later<br />Jim<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc--></i><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
