Lucie was biopsied twice initially -- once from the upper spine where the main tumor was, but they could only get enough to determine adeno carcinoma and not location; a second one from the right fibula, where they were able to get enough to determine NSCLC. After that, treatment has depended on pain symptoms plus scans -- no biopsy. Don

Great pic, Sharon. Thanks for sharing. Don

We use the wheel-saucer method. I fill the day wheel once a week with all the medications. The night before, I sort out the morning meds and put them in a saucer by the wheel. When Lucie takes the morning meds, I immediately put out the evening ones onthe saucer, etc. That way, we know where we are. Good luck to Jo. Don

We're fightng Stage IV and I think we're winning
Don Wood replied to janetg's topic in INTRODUCE YOURSELF!
Hi, Janet! Welcome to our website! My wife was given 9 months to live after dx NSCLC, Stage IV, with mets to five bone locations. She is now 28 months out and still going, thanks to chemo, radiation, great docs and great support. Hang in there. Don -
been here three months, time for me to open up!
Don Wood replied to myagle2's topic in INTRODUCE YOURSELF!
Welcome! Adding to the hope that Peggy gave you, my wife is NSCLC, Stage IV and she is now out 28 months and going fine. We continue to battle the beast, but we have won so far. Don -
Hi, and welcome. As Connie said, treatments cause fatigue and depression comes along and adds to the fatigue. It is important that your dad eat enough and drink plenty of fluids to fight this disease. My wife stays much of the day, and sleeps at night in a recliner. She has spinal damage and the recliner is the only way she can be comfortable. Keep us posted, and let us know how we may support you. Don

Congratulations on 17!

Bill, so sorry your wife is going through this. Lucie has had taxotere/carboplatin, which worked well for her. Then she was put on Iressa and that induced pneumonia. She then went on Navelbine, which seems to have done a fairly good job. She will probably go on Alimta in a few weeks. Best to you both. I hope you find something that works. Don

Yeeeee! Ha!

You asked so I'll tell you. I am not fond of it. It seems to me, and it may be an illusion, that the print is smaller, and at my age, more difficult to read. Anyway, I'll muddle through. Don
