[My journal]

I am very sorry for your loss. I really don't know what more I can say. Please know that you are not alone.

[I am looking for support group in the La Crosse WI area]

I have gained a great deal  from the site but feel that there would be even to be gained from support irl.

Welcome Big Mike, you will find many friends here all willing to answer to the best of their ability any questions you may have. Praying for you.

 

Thanks

Hi BigMike and Welcome!

So very glad you found this safe place. What type of treatment are you going to have? Can we help you prepare for side effects?

5 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 adenocarcinoma and told I had a 10-15 month life expectancy. This doesn't have to be an immediate death sentence. There's hope.

 

I will be experiencing chemo and radiation. I have a lot of information but I am sure that I will find the experience much different than the description.

Hi Big Mike.

Where are you being treated?

I am here in Minnesota also.  Boy it has been a great Fall.  Great weather for being outside.

Hope we have the mild winter they predict.

Are you having any symtoms?  How did they find it?

 

Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

I am being treated at Mayo. I had an 8 week bout with pneumonia that lead to my diagnosis. Lots of coughing, some of it bloody, some pain. Don't actually start treatment until Wednesday.

New to this site. New to cancer. Not new to disease. I really don't know what my expectations are but I am here.
