Happy Second Birthday!!

I'm so happy for you Jamie! You still have a year on me!

I lost my bestfriend and cousin, Kathi to this horrible disease. I still think about her everyday.

I'm still here too! 4 1/2 years, stage 1A I don't get on the board as much as I used to, life has just been too busy, and FB seems to have taken up my spare time! This was a great post Debi...it's so good to see so many of the "old" early stagers posting, like myself. We are all so lucky, I still thank God everyday!

Congratulations Mike!

Kasey, I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and your family, and Tracy and her family.

I am SO glad to hear this! Congratulations to both of you!

I thought it appropriate to post this on the Good News board. I went for my biopsy on Thursday, and after they had sedated me they did an initial CT Scan and the radiologist came out and said there was nothing to biopsy. The "nodule" had shrunk considerably and it wasn't big enough to biopsy. So I gladly went home. I talked to my doctor last night and he said that it must have been inflamation. The "nodule" had reduced by 90% in the two weeks! He wants to do another CT scan in 4 months to be sure. Thank you all for your positive thoughts and prayers! It does work!

Thank you all for your prayers. Now all I can do is wait...wait..wait. I HATE this waiting!

But my doctor seems to think my cancer may be back. After 4 years of being cancer free, he is seeing an area on the left lung (where I had my lobectomy four years ago) and also many tiny areas on the right lung. This is not at all what I wanted to hear, but I am trying to stay as positive as I can. I have a biopsy (of the spot on the left lung) on Thursday and will get the results next Tuesday. If the spot is cancer, they will start chemo immediately. You guys have all been such great support for me in the past, and although I'm not on the board as much as I'd like to be, I'm sure I can count on you all for the support I may need in the future. Please pray for me over the next week. I'd love to hear the doctor say that it is just inflamation, give me an antibotic, and go on with my life. But I have to come to terms with the idea that it may be cancer again. Of course, I will let you know as soon as I find out.

Merry Christmas Lori!

I just wanted to take some time out to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I know that I haven't been on the board much lately, with trying to build up my new business and taking care of my family, there just hasn't been much time for posting. I try to get on and read most of the posts though. I know that this has been a hard year for some of you, and just wanted to wish you the best this holiday season! Love you all!!!

Carl, Looks like I am in the minority also. But I agree with Debi completely. I was staged 1A and was told there was absolutely no evidence that chemo would be beneficial. I opted to not have it. If I were staged at 1B, I would probably have made a different decision. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do!

Awww..Connie...thanks for missing me! I do check in and read messages when I can, but like Katie said, I have been busy trying to get my new business going. That, and the kids, and the new puppy....well you can imagine...it's been crazy. But I do miss reading ALL the posts, one day I will catch up! Love you all!!

You cranky? No way!! Hope things are better.
