Timothy Smith TimothyRaySmith

Tim was diagnosed with Lung Cancer that metastasized showing eight or more tumors on the brain in February of this year.  Symptoms were noticed back in January however the diagnoses was not noted until February.  They also discovered that he had a tumor on his adrenal gland and an ascending aortic aneurism.  He underwent radiation of the brain in February and began Chemotherapy in March.  He ended up in the hospital several more times.  We, Tim and family made the decision to enter into Hospice (comfort care), in September.  He is at home and is being cared for by his wife Dana and many other family members, Daughter Jessica, (Pat), Son Michael, Sister Kelly, (Bill) and Sister Becky, (Mark), Brother Randy (Dale). 

Tim has declined quickly in the past few weeks.  He has memory and balance issues and needs 24 hour supervision.  It is now time for the awesome support of Caring Bridge for communication and messages. 

Please feel free to share your favorite stories, thoughts, prayers and memories of Tim on the journal.
