All, Thanks so much for your replies. You all are so helpful and I love this board. I think Snowflake was correct. I was having a pity party yesterday and for that I apologize. I know that what I am going through is nothing compared to what you Suvivors deal with everyday. I am going to get myself together and jump back in full force. -A-

Hi All, I am new to the board and just need to vent. My Sister-In-Law was diagnosed with Stage IV NSCLC in November of 2003 and died in November of 2004, she was 47 yrs old and way too young to leave this world. She fought so hard and tried everything she could to stay alive (Chemo/Radiation, Iressa). In July of 2004 my Father-In-Law (her father) was also diagnosed with Stage IV NSCLC and is undergoing Radiation only, because he is afraid to try Chemo after seeing his daughter go through it. I just found out that my Mom has Breast Cancer and I feel like I can't take it anymore. I am just feeling so over whelmed and am still reeling from the shock of my losing my Sister-In-Law. I want to be supportive to everyone, but I am starting to shut down. How do you all deal with the stress of seeing someone you love go through this. I want to help them, but feel so helpless. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening and I am going to pray for everyone on this board. -A-
