Amy - Thank you for your post! I am so to hear that your mom is stable and that she is doing well. People like you and your mother are such inspirations to people like me and my mom. I can not get my mom involved in the group (she says she is "not inerested, she has all the support she needs" meaning us, her family but the help and support I have recieved so far has been awesome. I too am forever grateful! Prayers for you and your mom Calintay

Upper right lobe of her lung

Just an update on my mom she is doing great and having no pain in her shoulder any longer. Radiation doctor says he suspects the tumor is shrinking since her shoulder is not hurting her any longer. Kind of leary about the upcoming week. Its chemo and radiation time again for them to meet. She handles plain radiation okay then they throw that chemo in and it whoops her butt! Her hair is falling out but she seems to be doing fine with that. Doctor gave her a shot of Arinecp for low Hemoglobin anyone have that shot? She said it hurt. Low white blood count and she is to keep taking her temp to look for signs of infection. Few questions she wants me to ask Amifostene anyone have good outcome with that? Did it work? She is thinking about surgery wants to know what is to be expected good and bad? She is worried about the breathing tube??? Thank you EVERYONE for your support and prayers.

No not in Washington but I am originally from California. Can't go there without bringing In and Out home Ever have it animal style? Boy is that messy. Making me hungry!

I agree that In and Out is the best

Yes, I saw that rather interesting, wouldn't that be wonderful?

People don't need detail to be able to pray for someone. Prayers with your son, you and your family

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

CONGRATULATIONS! on NED.

Miche - My mom was recently diagnosed with LC and she went to the doctor for a cold and then she started having major shoulder and right upper back pain and sure enough it was cancer. Since her treatment has started she has had no pain at all now and is still recieving treatment. Not every case is the same but yes second opionions are always a good idea. Keep us posted and good luck! Prayers

No information on non-operable but welcome to the site. I am new here also and this is an awesome place to find. Good luck and my prayers are with you

Great News

Exciting! I am so happy for you

My moms doctor said she would experience that from radiation (probably not just during) but that if she sucked on candy that would help. I have never heard of pain meds causing a long lasting metalic taste. I dunno

70% 689 secs. 1st try Not so hot

Cisplatin and Etoposide is what she is getting

Treatment? Okay my mom is having chemo week one and week five and radiation all five weeks. So would the second treatment be week five or just the second week? Sorry I am confused =(
