  1. Tom, I need to get where you are. Im starting to work on the mental aspect of this all now. Good attitude you have there.
  2. I hope your husbands treatment went well and things are going good for you both.
  3. I wish I could help her. I am so new to this that I am struggling and not someone that has answers. My thoughts and prayers are with her
  4. Hi, I was diagnosed Dec 2 2015 with a 6.2cm mass on my right lung right on the stem so no surgery available. I was in chemo within about 1-1/2 weeks and radiation for 35 days straight about 40 days later. I had 4 rounds of aggressive chemo, on one week, off the next 18 or so days. A lymph node was in the mass and they found another small spot on my right lung too, limited stage 3A. I responded well to treatment and am now "in remission" but going thru brain radiation preventative because my kind of cancer likes to go there. I have done 6 of 10 days on my brain then my treatment will be done. Im scared to death. I hadnt researched anything about it before now b/c everyone said not to, its not my diagnosis but I have felt hurt and tired all weekend and decided to look. All the info was very negative and brought me way down as far as any kind of surviving for any length goes. Does anyone have GOOD positive outcomes and info on longevity with this? I hope today finds everyone feeling good and having a good day. Thanks for listening.
  5. I am on day 6 of 10 brain radiation and the first day was really bad. My brain swelled and I got physically ill and a bad migraine for about 40 hours. That was a tuesday and I was started on decatron? the next day and was able to start back up with radiation the next monday and so far the only side effects are fatigue and eating a lot because of the steroids. Mt Dr wants me to stop the steroids but I really think its the only thing stopping the symptoms so Im not going to. I've only got 4 days left anyways. I stopped them over the weekend since radiation is only during the week but ended up with a bad headache and pain all over my body so started back this morning and headache is gone. I hope things go well with you. Mine (brain radiation) is preventative as I went thru chemo/radiation for small cell carcinoma lung cancer (Just got done with treatment and am in remission now but scared of everything especially after researching on the internet, ugh) and it has a tendency to go to the brain from what my oncologist and radiation dr explained to me. Take care of yourself and hydrate a whole lot, its really important
