Hi, Steff, I am sorry that you and your family are going through this again. Tom is a great example of a long term survivor who has lived through recurrences. Please keep us posted on your mom's surgery and biopsy. Once we have more information, we can connect you to others with a similar diagnosis. We have many resources for patients/survivors and caregivers, so please let me know if you'd like to learn more about our support program. We are here for you. With gratitude, Lauren -- Digital Community Manager LUNGevity Foundation

I totally understand how you feel. Once you get a cancer diagnosis of any kind it changes you. I am so happy to know you are doing so well and caught it early which is so important for our survival.

Mally, Right! Anxious time to next scan. Remember, lung cancer is persistent so keep your game face on. The 6 month scan interval is a good sign but it is just a sign. Most important is to be doing something you enjoy while surfing your NED. You got the promise of treatment -- extra life. Now have fun! Stay the course. Tom

Thank you Tom, I really appreciate your response. Today is better than yesterday, we at least know that her surgery to have a stint placed in her bronchial tube will be no later than early next week to help her breathing. We are supposed to have the results of her biopsy this week, so I will definitely post once we know for sure the type of cancer. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. Have a good day.
