Tom, I hope you don't mind I shared your post on the ALK positive Facebook group page. It is an eye opener for all of us dealing with lung cancer through NO FAULT of our own. Thank you for sharing.

Most people are still under the misconception that lung cancer is only caused by cigarette smoking and therefore bring it on themselves and federal funding is minimal compared to funding for research of other cancers. It totally baffles me why their thinking isn't the same for drug use which is perpetrated for the most part by drug companies and doctors who are in bed together.

I was fortunate to attend a Hope Summit a couple of years ago and came away just as impressed as you are.

Lynda, Elinor was my sweet mother in law who passed away from colon cancer a little over 2 years ago. I wrote this article in her memory. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Robert, she had colon cancer. I have lung cancer
-
Pearl, of course there is always a chance but until you see your doctor there is no way anyone can diagnosis it for you. Prayers going up that it is not a malignancy.
-
I totally understand how you feel. Once you get a cancer diagnosis of any kind it changes you. I am so happy to know you are doing so well and caught it early which is so important for our survival.

Mally, my last scans we're 6 months apart however the most recent scan showed a new area of concern so I am back to every 3 months for now. I had been NED for 26 months on a targeted therapy drug, that is the reason my doc extended the time between scans. I think maybe 6 months might have been a little too far apart. I am only speaking from my own experience and I know insurance dictates the number and frequency of scans allowed.
-
I would like to hear how others deal with the ups and downs of this disease. Just about the time I have shoved it out of my mind and gotten on with the business of living a scan comes due and the scanxiety that comes with that then something shows up on the scan and the wait to see the doctor starts. How do you deal with these highs and lows?

Glad your surgery is over and am sorry you are having so much pain. Praying it will get better very soon.

Check with her oncologist they should be able to get her signed up

Brenda, I am sorry to hear that your cousin has been diagnosed with lung cancer, you will be able to support each other and understand. I believe that the stage of your cancer does not change. Staging only means the cancer has metastasized to other areas. You can be in complete remission but your initial staging does not change at least that is what I have been told. I hope that is helpful.

Stay strong, sweet girl, you've got this!

I am fortunate to have a big family and many friends including my church family who have been literally a life saver for me. I hope you can get connected with a church or a local cancer support group, no one needs to go through this alone.

Keep us posted Brenda, we have been where you are and are hear to listen and support you.
