My son, Ryan, is getting ready to begin his first science experiment. I would love for him to tackle a topic that has something to dealing with lung cancer.. advocacy, treatment, etc. I thought I would ask the experts for help.. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.. (((Hugs))) Jamie

Thanks so much Katie!! We are about to begin this journey once again.. I'm so glad I have the experiences and friends to keep me on track … Love ya lots!! Jamie

I think it is wonderful!!!

Hello to my longtime friends!! It seems the ugly monster has struck again but this time with my mom. She was diagnosed last week with poorly differentiated squamous cell lung cancer. They are thinking that is localized to 1 lung but are not quite sure.. I need your help!!! Please update me on the things to ask at this upcoming staging and potential treatment appointment. Especially in regards to genetic testing. Is this a standard now? A huge thanks to any help you can give!! Blessings, Jamie

Janet, Just reading this and wanted to tell you are so loved here! I am so sorry to read of how you are feeling but if anybody can relate, we can.. Keep the faith that this feeling is only temporary ...although it seems like forever.. You have some big decisions to make but I know you will make the one that is right for you. That does not mean you are a quitter that just means that the path you are going down is a different one!! You are a survivor!!!! My hubby didn't understand either but then he doesn't understand alot of things that I think make perfect sense.. For example, having a clean house. I think that is normal... he probably feels very helpless in this situation and doesn't know how to react. I pray that you will start feeling better very soon! We love ya!!

Congratulations and welcome Lysa!!!

Great News Bruce!! Rock on!!

Hi Slim, I have been reading the updates and just wanted you to know that you two are in my thoughts and prayers..... I am a 7 year survivor and was diagnosed as incurable...
