I lost my dad a little over a year ago to lung cancer. He was 55. This will probably be the hardest thing you ever faced in your life so far. The first thing I learned was to not look too far ahead. Wait until you get real answers and try not to speculate. You will drive yourself crazy. Secondly, hope for the best but always know that the worst can happen. I hoped that my dad would be able to have surgery and be fine. Reality was that it was too advanced and strong which chemo wasn't able to fight and surgery would have just been more pain for him, no help.
I wish I had good answers for you but I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. Feel free to contact me if you need someone to talk to about this.
