Oh Patti thank you! I have been following your story too and I shared a story with you about my sis-in-laws mother who beat terminal lung cancer and she is still going strong-the success stories are amazing!!
I just hope and pray that he has the strength to fight and beat this.
His background story is quite a tragic one:
About 15 years ago he and his wife lost two children in a house fire-they were both blown out of the house and Louis (barefooted) went back and was able to get one of the children out (one of a set of twin boys) who was severely burned and they lost the other twin boy and an 18 month old girl.
Louis had burns on his feet and had some damage to his lungs and throat from the smoke. He is a smoker but they think part of this cancer may be from the damage he had from the smoke too.
Their son Justin is now 23 or 24 and he still has to have surgeries every few years to stretch his skin from the burns on his face and upper body-I believe 85% of his body was burned.
Needless to say both he and his wife have had bouts of depression and now this...so it's just so hard for him to be positive!
I pray for your DH and that he will have a full recovery because I know it's possible!!!
