I had been having trouble with leg weakness, weight loss, dry mouth and back pain since July 2013. After back xrays, spinal stenosis was suspected.

I was sent to physical therapy because insurance demands that before any kind of spinal surgery. The therapist assigned to me decided there was something internally wrong and to go back to my Doctor immediately. I think I owe her a BIG thank you and some flowers. We will look her up soon.

After telling my family Doctor about weight loss, fatigue and dry mouth he sent me to the ER for tests. He claims I never said anything about this before but I have a witness that say different, my wife.. It’s hard to deal with someone who doesn’t listen. Always take someone with you to appointments, it's harder for them to deny that way.

After 4 days of testing they found Small Cell Lung Cancer.
