Hey Dennis, stay strong and you will put through this.
My father has the same issue with the shortness of breath and we finally got him to the hospital. The mass in his lung was found through X-ray. We admitted him and for more extensive testing. It was lung cancer, so it was removed. The doctor thought that it was stage one, where the cancer has not spread. After surgery, we were told it was stage three because cancer was found in the nodes. Doc estimated that he may have a couple of years but he did suggest treatment and radiation. He beat it and he's cancer free coming up 16 years next February. I thank the doctors and staff at the City of Hope for this. He just turned 80 a couple of months ago. For you, it may turn out to be nothing. Please go and check thing out. Modern medicine has come a long way. Hang in there. go to the support groups, they help. My father was too bull head to go to those, so we took turns hanging out with him a couple of time a week during recovery.
