Hello,
My name is Mary in I live in Virginia. My father died of Lung Cancer in 1977 at the age of 53. I am the youngest of eight. My mother is also deceased. My 47 year old sister was diagnosed in January with a tumor in her upper right lung. She has been staged 3B. She currently is receiving radiation 5x a week for 6 weeks; aswellas, chemo every Thursday. They are using a taxol/carbo cocktail. The doctors will reevaluate after the six week treatment. My sister is married and has three boys: 18, 15, and 13.
They are great kids!! My family is very concerned for my sister and "on edge".
