I know I've asked for lots of prayers for my DH over the past several years, mostly because of his heart issues. Some of you know, he had a heart stress test a couple of weeks ago and it showed a nodule on his right lung. He was then prescribed a CAT scan and was recommended a pulmonary doctor. She is great!! 

He has a PET scan on 9/3 and a biopsy on 9/5. We saw the thoracic surgeon this afternoon and really like him. He's sure it's lung cancer and is scheduled for surgery on 9/20. It's at Penn in Philly and I'm terrified to drive in the city these days. Luckily his daughter will be in town and can take us down. 

I am a wreck because my poor sweet hubby has been through so much. He has been doing so much better this past two years and this is just a kick in the gut. 

I'll be scrapping as therapy when I can but may be a little quiet on the boards. 

Thanks for the prayers, good thoughts and positive vibes!!

Aw, Chris, so sorry to see this.  Keeping your DH and you in my thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks as you got through all of the appointments, testing and surgery.  Hugs and strength to you!

Oh Chris! You know you both have my prayers and good thoughts! Poor Ed...poor you! I pray for a good outcome for him. And strength for you. I know the waiting won't be easy either. Do what you have to do to take care of both of you! xoxo

Hi Chris- you know you’ve got the prayers- good thoughts-hugs and anything else !!! Praying for him and you and his team of medical staff. So many hugs to you - I know this is so unexpected and a shock besides being scary. Anything we can do - say the word! Sending all kinds of good thoughts and prayers . xxoo

Oh, sweet Pally!  I don't doubt for one second that you are worried, and then worried more on top of that.   I am absolutely sending you tons of ((Hugs)), prayers, support, good vibes  . . . whatever you need!  Just try to relax and just love on each other while you wait for the upcoming surgery.  Ed's got this.  You got this.  And, you've got us. 

Sending up prayers for you both!  I'm sure the diagnosis is scary and unexpected but thankful you have a great medical team around him - and you!
 

Chris, I am praying for your DH (and for you, because caregivers often get exhausted and their own health suffers).  Sending you cherry hugs, too.

Chris I am so sorry you both are going through this. Many ((hugs)) and prayers that all goes smoothly and that Ed has the best possible outcome. I know how incredibly difficult this is for you. Please know I am here for you if you need to talk or anything.

Oh Chris!!!  My heart goes out to you both!!!  I'm so glad his daughter will be there to help you drive in the city.  I know what that's like!!!  And hopefully she will be some support for you too.  You have my thoughts and prayers and good thoughts too.  I pray that the entire medical team that will be in the operating room and taking care of him before and after will give him the very best possible care and that the outcome will be as positive as it possibly can be!  Don't be afraid to reach out to anyone if you need help!!!  You need care too during this stressful time.  We love and miss you but we all understand.  {{{HUGS}}}

Sorry to hear this news. I'll pray for your DH and you. Glad you will have someone to drive you to the city. That just lessens the stress of the day. Keep us updated when you feel like it.

Oh Chris, you’ve got all the good thoughts and vibes and hugs I can send you! So sorry to hear you all are going through this, thinking about you both!
