Susan Cornett got a reaction from wendybird in Newly diagnosed a few days ago
Hi -
Glad you found us. You'll likely hear from a couple of other people who will provide links to great information. I don't have answers to your question, but I offer hope. I was diagnosed with stage IV 7 years ago. I'm still here. 😁

Susan Cornett got a reaction from ChiMama in It's been a minute...
I've stopped by here and there the last few months without much time to comment. Work slowed down so I'm reclaiming my time. First, I had an appointment with Super Doc last Thursday and I remain NED. Because I've been NED almost 5 years, Super Doc moved me to annual scans. I'm not going to lie; I'm a little nervous about that.
I was floating along on my good news until Monday morning. A classmate from junior high/high school/college died as a result of her stage IV lung cancer. She was diagnosed after me with the exact same type but she just couldn't get past it. There are definitely a lot of why questions running through my head. A few classmates reached out to me because they knew her death would hit me differently. Just another loss to cancer from our small glow-in-the-dark cancer-causing hometown.
I leave for a 10 day cruise next week with another friend from my hometown and yes, she is also dealing with cancer. Anyway, it's a long overdue trip for us. We kept saying we'd go next year, and then the next year. Last fall, her treatment put her in the hospital 3 times and she nearly died the last time she was in the hospital. We booked soon after!

Amazing news, and what a nIce trip to celebrate! I get the scan frequency anxiety, my oncologist changed me to every 6 months and it will be even more given the circus we call Cancer Centre in Vancouver and my head goes in so many directions as I wait but trying to remind myself that it is because they seem confident. Congrats!

Tom - I told Super Doc that HE had to call my mom and tell her we were changing the frequency.

Susan,
Do enjoy that cruise!
The annual scan milestone can be disconcerting, but I still get them annually. However, I no longer require the infused contrast so my low-dose CT is a piece of cake. Any time I can dodge an IV is a good time for me!
Stay the course and steer that ship to the best of times.
Tom

Susan Cornett got a reaction from LouT in Lung scan and 2nd sniff test tomorrow
Hi -
Your surgeon or family physician should be able to refer you to an oncologist. You definitely need an oncologist because they will have the most knowledge to share regarding your diagnosis and treatment options.

Susan Cornett got a reaction from Maryloumoo in I'm also still stable!
Received my latest scan results a few days before Christmas. I'm still NED - been that way for 4 years. Super Doc says if my next scan (June) is clean, I'll get moved to an annual scqn. If you had told me in August 2016 that - first - I'd still be here and - second - that I'd be NED, I wouldn't have believed you.
If you are newly diagnosed, please know that this disease can be survived. I'm proof.
