I'm so very sorry for what you are going through. I imagine I am close to your age, my mom is 52. I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Your mom is lucky to have you posting here. As you are finding out there are some great people here. Have you been able to do anything to deal with the emotions? Is your mom having a hard time with that? It may be too soon yet. It's so much information in the beginning. Are they planning on doing any surgery for the lungs? Has she gone for a second or third opinion?
