Hi MaryLou,
I'm happy to hear that you are feeling pretty well after having undergone a lobectomy. My guess is that little by little you will start to feel better, breathe better, and cough less. I'm sure it feels great to be out of the hospital. Just remember to take it slowly at first and give your body time to heal.
Best,

Sajid,
It sounds like your wife is doing so much better with the targeted treatment.
The weight loss can be scary. Hoping that the dietician will give you suggestions to help. Sometimes having 6 small meals a day that are high in calories can help, especially if she feels full after eating. The fact that her cough is better is positive.
I hope her targeted treatment continues to work and that her upcoming scans in July show reduction in her cancer!
Best,

Dear Steph,
I'm so very sorry to hear about your mom. She has inspired and helped so many of us on these forums.
I sincerely hope that she knows how many of us she has touched. I completely understand her decision to transfer to hospice care but know it must be so hard on the family.
I hope she finds peace and comfort.
Love,

Tom,
I can ask my doc again. Last time I asked, she said that it would be like getting a needle biopsy for every one and where I have more than ten nodules that are varying from 1-1.8 cm in the lower right lobe, and then two more in the lower left lobe area..radiation wouldn't be an option that would work. Still waiting for a phase 1 trial at this point.
Good luck to everyone out there!

But cyber knife (SBRT) doesn't work on multiple lesions right? Just if you have one mass that can be zapped?

Bob,
I'm sorry to hear this news but still holding out hope that perhaps it is not a recurrence.
I hope the PET scan shows that all is well!!
Take care,

Kleo,
I'm hanging in there! Sorry to hear about your muscle pains but it sounds like good news that the docs are attributing what they saw on the scan as inflammation!!
Thinking of you,

Kleo,
I had a bunch of different procedures done before my two surgeries. The first was a bronchoscopy, the next was a transthoracic lung biopsy where you are basically awake enough so they can give you directions, but you don't really feel anything, and then and endobronchoscopy where they go in with the navigational type camera..I think they were all considered day surgery procedures..So, I don't think I've experience the needle biopsy yet. I'll be waiting to here from you about what that experience is like..
Take care,
Ro

Kleo,
I was asking because I have been told that the 5 new nodules in my lower right lobe are too small to biopsy. I was curious about the size of yours. Sure wish there was a way to keep these nodules from popping up..How are you doing otherwise? You and Bob certainly have a great sense of humor!!

Kleo,
Where is your new nodule located? Only 6 days to go for your biopsy!
Hoping all goes as smoothly as possible!

Kleo,
I don't think there are any words that really help when dealing with all of this. Just know that there's a whole group of us here that are routing for you and continuing to send positive vibes and support your way. Waiting for your update after you see the onc...
