Susan...a letter well written...thank you...Hope it will create some action on our behalf... Talking about letter's...Don't know if any of you guys get the program...DEAL OR NO DEAL...but anyway...it is a program with 26 beautiful gals coming on stage holding 26 cases with money amounts in them...it's a game show where you can win a million dollars....Each time the show is on...the girls come out in beautiful outfits...In the middle of Oct since it was 'breast cancer' awareness month...they all came out with pink outfits...Well that's just fine and dandy...and I am happy about all the research...but never the less I/we feel very slighted...So I decided to get my fine self in tune and write the show a letter ...went on to tell them about LC and how unfunded it is and how unfair...and yada yada...but the bottom line I asked the producer's that since November is Lung Cancer awareness month...to do us a big favor and have the girls come out in white to put some focus on LC...and coming from their show it would give us a boast....Don't know if it's gonna happen but I gave it a try...I told them if by chance they will do it to let me know the day so I could tell my friends and family...I will let you guy's know if I hear...

Good luck on your surgery....you will be fine with all your angel's around you....Yes surgery is not a piece of cake..but very doable...I hope you do as well as I did when I had my UR Lobectomy....prayers going your way....hugs...nonni

Dave...I certainly hear where you are coming from...I felt the same way when I first started to post almost 3 yrs ago....I had a lobectomy and was fortunate to be 1A with no other involvement's...When I first started to read the posts and read how some were not doing too well...I felt so bad...I stood away and would post very seldom...I didn't want those not doing to good to see how well I was doing....but now I don't feel that way at all...and I hope you won't either... When I have good scan's...I can't wait to get on here and give other's hope...I tell them ...what's "good" for me is 'hope' for all of us We are all in this together good or not so good and all hanging in waiting for the BIG C...(THE BIG CURE) God Bless us ALL and He does.. Kasey ...I loved you post...you are too good girlfriend!! hugs everyone....nonni

HI there...As you can see from the other post's this is quite normal after a lobectomy...I had a RL lobectomy and I had numbness in my breast for about a year with little 'zing's going across my chest...and being 3 yrs NED..it still happen's occasionly...Nothing to worry about and be happy happy that she was able to have surgery....She will be fine...God Bless...Nonni

Barb...doing the happy dance for you too....7 years is awesome...77 more is better ...Boy can I relate walking in the hospital in the early morning hours going to surgery....and thinking would I ever come out alive...and here be me...3 yrs later and hoping and praying for many many more for all of us...
