Pneumonia
by edhayes, Oct 29, 2006 12:00AM
My father is 80 year old with lung cancer in left lung. The cancer is still there but has not grown any larger thank god. Last month he had a cat scan of lungs and found he had emphysema in right lung. Doctor put him on o2 and albuturol. For three weeks he was very week coughing a lot and not breathing very well. He went back to doctor and he thought that cancer had started to grow again and had moved to right lung and bronchial tube. So he sent him for another cat scan. That’s when they found out he had pneumonia and the cancer had not progressed.
He went into hospital on Tuesday 10/24. After 5 days his chest is clear but still having trouble breathing, Has little apatite and no energy. I know this will take time but would like to know how long recovery could be.
He has angina, diabetes along with the cancer and emphysema.
