Cancer carrier?

My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in Novemeber last year and his life prediction was 12-18months...however he went through experimental treatments and the cancer shrunk to a relatively small size so if radiation didnt kill it, operating was a back up method...he's been really sick recently and went to the doctor to learn he has 2 blood clots in his chest and hemroids? After staying in hospital over night the doctors said that the cancer carrying cells are in his chest now and has fluid around his heart...what exactly does that mean?

You need to ask the doctor to clarify but it probably means that the cancer has metastasized and his body is fighting it in another spot

Yes, your right wildchild spread throughout the body but its better to ask the doctor to be sure what its means.

One of my best friend's dad was diagnosed with Lung cancer last year also. He had kimo and was doing really well, until the beginning of this year the medication started making him ill. He ended up going into hospital, and his lungs collapsed. Unfortunately he passed away before expected.
Talk to the doctor again, and find out if there is anything they can do to prevent the cells spreading.
Your dad is in my prayers!

..,yeah! you should really talk to the doctor and clarify those things cause cancer is really a serious disease. But you just have to trust in god for he always has his perfect plans. . . .So you just have to pray, pray and pray. . . .God Bless!
