All I can say is thank you, from the bottom of my heart. She has an appt with a thoracic specialist tomorrow. He's the one who will do the biopsy, possibly Friday. thank you so much for your continued prayers.

Thank you all so much for the prayers, as we so desparately need them. The doctors say the cancer is back. They want to do an incision and do a biopsy in the trachea/esophagus areas, and also say there's changes in the lung, not for sure what that means yet. I feel almost like I did the first time we were told. We've been claiming this healing for almost five years now and this is quite a shock. God is good and has a plan. His ways are higher than ours. Thank you all so much. I'm lifting each of you up as well. Gotta get that devil back under my feet now.

Words can't even express what I'm feeling right now. It feels so good to have support from others who know EXACTLY what it's like. Thank you, each one of you, for your kind words and encouragement and most of all, for your prayers for my beautiful mother, who yes, is VERY much an inspiration to all who know her. We live an hour and a half from each other, but talk several times a day on the phone. When I talk to her this morning I'm going to tell her about you all and that she has more prayers going up! God is so good! Maybe soon I'll get her hooked up to the net and she too can get support from ya'll. I know she feels so alone, not really knowing anyone else with lung cancer. She goes to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America and has met some very inspirational people though! I'll let you know the results when I found out. God is bigger than cancer!

That's a beautiful prayer; thank you so much. When my mom was first DX, I was praying and reading my bible, and the Lord gave me this Psalm for my mom and your prayer reminded me of it. Hope it's ok that I share it. Psalms 91 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

This is an awesome site and I'm blessed to have found it. My mom was diagnosed with nsclc in 4/00, stage IIIb. After chemo and radiation (it was inoperable) she has been cancer free for near five years now. God gets all the glory! She recently had a PET scan and goes tomorrow to talk to the doctor about the results. Her lung doctor said it showed a few 'areas of concern' and mentinoed doing a biopsy of a place near her neck/clavicle bone. We are a very close family and well, you all know how it is. (I'm not used to having anyone else to relate to with this.) We have a very strong faith in God and are still believing in her complete healing. 'By His stripes, we are healed!' We've had over four years of clear scans, so this is a bit of a shock to the system. But God is good and faithful. I'd like to ask for your prayers and support. Thank you so much. I'm praying for you all. I'm so glad this board exists! C.C.
