I guess they were all planned to go-they put an IV in After 3 bad attempts-then gave her an epidural-after three failed attempts and then an Arterial IV-it's a deep iv into the Artery to measures Blood pressure-They usually do this while your out(unconscious) since it's painful-but not there
So the surgeon tells her they're going to remove the lung and she wakes up to a small bandage on her neck and one under her right arm-I guess he viewed the CT after she was under anesthesia(not the usual way to do things) and decided it was inoperative at that point-man this is like Stage III or IV Lung Cancer and it's in her lymph nodes already and in the other lung too-very bad prognosis-I hope she makes it to the 5yr point but the odds are so stacked against her(less than 5%) It just is a real bummer for her and her young daughter and Husband
So she starts Chemo/radiation next week and we pray it shrinks it down enough that she can finally have surgery
Thanks for keeping LaDonna in your prayers-it's going to be tough to beat this and I pray she can make it

I was woken up by G at about 2am...he was laying next to me shivering! I mean teeth chattering uncontrollably, shivering. I didn't quite know what was going on for the first 30 mins or so.
I just thought he was sleeping restlessly, but then I finally got woken up enough to turn the light on and try to make sense of it. I got him some medicine and then covered him up real good. He feels like he has a fever, but I didn't take his temp. I finally got him back to sleep around 3 and of course I can't go back. But I would have had to have gotten back up at 4:15 to get ready for work.
So, I'm going to be working on 3 1/2 hours of sleep today....... What's that saying again Kim? Sleep is Overated!!
Kim I am so sorryckckc2000 said:Sorry to add to this saddness-but I just got off the phone with DSIL-and the news is terrible-the cancer is spread and the outlook is very very poor-I can't write much more since I can barely see the keyboard thru my tears-This is just about the worst diagnosis she could of received
Thanks for all the prayers-looks like she be needing them more than ever
Thankfully No-not the same doctor-and yes her daughter Samantha is only 5yrs oldeeyoresmountainpals said:Kim - Thanks for sharing a few more details with us so that we have an idea of what she's dealing with.
Is the doctor handling the chemo/radiation the same one that was to have done the surgery?
LaDonna will stay in my prayers!!! As well as her daughter and husband. How old is her daughter. I know you had said she is young!
Thanks everyone for keeping them in your prayers-Off to Soccer-see you later

They played great! They're a good team, no hot shots or ball hogs. They all work together and pass the ball! Matthew was goalie for the first half and didn't let any get by. Then for most of the second half he was on offense.
ckckc2000 said:OK-Off to the Mall(luckey me) and only 3 hrs sleep-but as I say sleep is over-rated!!! Oh and Catie's team won too!!! 3-2,they only scored while Catie was off defense catching her breath-good game over-all,but Man was it Hot again
