Flyman35 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It was January 29th 2008. 5 years ago the surgeon told Tom he had stage 4 lung cancer. 5 years ago Tom asked the surgeon how much time he had. The surgeon said without treatment we won't be having this conversation this time next year. So Tom said I guess we better do the treatment. 5 years ago we went to the oncologist who stepped out of the box. 5 years ago. Where did the time go? There by the grace of God lives Tom. Thomas Murphy is officially a 5 year, Stage IV NSCLC Lung Cancer survivor. He took a licking but he keeps on ticking. Clarinet bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebob5 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Great news, and so happy for Tom. I am a new member and the one thing that truly amazes me is the knowledge everyone has concerning their cancer. I am a stage IV survivor presently undergoing second round of chemo. Cancer discovered back in 08, had lower right lung removed and went through chemo at that time. I look at most of the postings and see every scan people have had and complete description of their treatment, makes me feel like a dummy. I wish I had discovered this site back when I was first diagnosed, think I would have been much better prepared for treatment options. Again so happy for Tom and will keep everyone posted on my progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
