BridgetO Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi Allyn, Welcome here! I'm sorry for what your wife and you are dealing with. I'm a survivor of an early stage lung cancer (and two other non-lung cancers). There are a lot of people on this forum whe are survivors of Stage 4, and their caregivers. You'll probably hear from them. You can find a lot of information, wisdom and hope here. All the best to you on this unwanted and unexpected journey.

You will find many long term (10+ year) survivors here; I'm in awe of them. They have shared so much information, wisdom, and inspiration. They keep me moving forward, and I hope they can help you and your mom. LaurenH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
