Hi, I'm new here, 74 year old Dad has been diagnosed with Lung cancer mets to pelvic area, adrenal and local lymph nodes. He's waiting for a biopsy to determine treatment, if any. Could anyone help me understand please - he's already anemic and has been very tired, symptoms only for the last 8 weeks. He's lost weight and has a poor apetite but is still managing to get up and dressed, etc. Is there anyone out there who can let me know the sort of symptoms they had before treatment? He also has a high a high wbc. He's just tired all the time. Hope there may be some help! Thanks!
