  1. Ry, I'm still recovering from my lung infection from early June, doc put me on advair this past Friday, I can tell some difference. I've taken mucinex for almost 2 months at my doctors request, sometimes I think thats why I cant get any relief from the cough. Hope John gets over it quicker then me. I'm so tired of coughing up gunk and spitting, had the neighbor ask me the other day if I had taken up chewing tobacco. HAHA, tell John our thoughts are with him.

  2. Gail, kinda know what ya mean. My husband has Barretts eshopagus which can lead to cancer, he is scoped EGD every 2 years to keep it in check, the last time he had it done they called me to recovery to sit with him and wait for the doctor, there lays all these pictures which to me look like doom, black and bloody looking pictures of his lower eshopagus, for 1 hour while I wait for the doctor negative thoughts are running through my head, now he has cancer my kids are not going to have any family. One hour of hell, when the doctor comes in all is normal although biopsy was taken as a precaution and she would let us know about it. Do these doctors and nurses not realize what they put people through ? In your case I would be triple upset, so sorry you have to wait and worry. God Bless

  3. Jenifer, sorry you need to be here, I cannot voice on the Vats as I had the traditional surgery. I have heard Vats recovery is alot quicker. I'm sure someone will be able to help you with your question, best of luck with your surgery. Stay positive..

  4. That is wonderful Gail, we all take different paths to deal with things and it sounds as though you have found yours. Teenagers that another whole different subject. My son of 25 is just now finding out what life is about and responsiblity, heck by 21 my husband and I were paying a mortgage and had our first child. Boy kids are different today. And I dont believe its how they were raised it their piers that they hang with who think they know everything and dont know swat and it rubs off on our kids. My daughter who is 18 is the most responsible Ive ever seen for a girl. I was blessed with them not being into the drug scene, and neither of them smoke. My son drinks on occassion but not my daughter. Keep in touch.

  5. Just wondering how many of us who leave the work force who thought we had friends and after a couple of weeks the phone calls stop, the lunches stop and people forget you. It is very disappointing to think you have friends and they forget what a simple phone call can do to brighten the day. I wish I could send them and others outside of the workforce a letter saying: you can call if just for a moment to say hello, we don't have to talk about cancer we can talk about the kids whats been going on in each others lifes. I would send these letters but I'm too

    pis_.... at this time and would say things I should'nt. I think thats why so many of us feel so alone, people forget about others so soon. Even the doctor I worked for who thought I was so wonderful has never rang this phone. Today they can all kiss my tush. :D

  6. Dina, sorry about your dad, lung cancer is survivable even at your dads age. Don't loose hope. Why did it take them so long to do a biopsy ? Seems like an awful long time. Hope the kids will be okay and you too. How is your dad handling things ? Keep us posted. Prayers your way....

  7. Jennifer, sorry you have found a need for us but there is hope in this website. As I was told in the beginning, take it one day at a time. There's no blame if people smoked or did not. Both set of people are here. Stay positive and keep us informed.

    Prayers for you and your family.

  8. For those of you who had chemo along with radiation, how long did it take to start feeling better and having more engery ? My last treatment was 05-25-07. Although I had a set back with pneumonia bi-lateral. Still trying to get over that cough. I am so tired of being tired. Doc says I am still a little anemic so I know it all will take time, but its just not quick enough for me. 2007 has be he.. and getting ready to start August feeling like crap. Any tips on getting my engery back would be appreciated. This is getting very depressing. Thanks
