  1. Three and a half years!! :D:D When they had told you 31/2 yrs ago to get your affairs in order your Dad was right. I remember how you told us" my Dad said why don't we go to Mayo like we did for your brother". You have been through a lot but the wonderful results that you are with us and proved that doctor wrong . Did you have your 29th birthday yet? ( Sorry I forget) When you get your results I hope we can have a party at group and celebrate . I love to celebrate :D:D Donna

  2. From what I have read bothe of those chemos can cause peipheral neuropathy. ( carbo/taxol) I had this develop during my second round of chemo after I had surgery, the doctor stopped the chemo so I missed the last doses. Some of the neuropathy symptoms went away, like I don't just fall down any more, but the weird feelings in my feet stayed but so did I so I figure small price , I am alive to have those feelings. Sorry I did not take those same chemos so I don't know if I was of any help. I took Cisplatin and VP 16.

  3. I agree with Eileen re heroes. So Sam that makes you a really big hero, going through treatment for SCLC and NSCLC !!!!!!!. Keep plugging we are all praying for a successful outcome- when this will be all behind you.

  4. Please notice the girls above have my shirt on! Connie organized us the last couple of years to have a lung cancer awareness event and those were last years tee shirts. We love you Connie an inspiration , comforter, and a great friend. :D

  6. Shellie, when I read your post I thought of a hymm we sing at church and looked up the verses it comes from:

    Isaiah 14 and following:

    But Zion said, "The Lord has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me."

    ...................Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you. See upon the palms of my hands I have written your name..........

    .....and those who hope in me shall never be disappointed.

  7. Glad you posted Shirley, have been thinking of you guys. I work tomorrow if Randy is still there I'll see you then . I'd rather see you at our group or at the grocery store etc then Randy would be feeling better! :D:D by the way I shop at Cub :lol: Take Care Hugs (((())))))Donna

  8. Kathy I hope today your hubby is doing better. I know it took me a long time to get any stamina back. It could be that some are on vacation, or away for a few days, it's summer. boy I wish I could be on the beach at Cape Cod right now listening to the waves lap onto the shore. I guess I could listen to my "relaxing" CD , I have one with those sounds. Hope you have a great day. from a little home sick for the Bay state Donna

  9. I took bothe of those chemos for weeks before I had surgery with radiation and for weeks after I had surgery. One positive side my best effect is it will be 6 yrs since I was diagnosed in December and no signs of cancer returning. Within days of starting the VP 16 my just about every hair fell out. During the last session I started to fall down etc and found that I had neuropathy in my feet so the Dr cancelled the last doses. You can find lots about these drugs at http://www.chemocare.com

  10. Thanks Ray. I remember walking to school, it took 20-25 minutes to get there. Sometimes we walked beside the street, but if it was hot we walked through the woods as far as we could ( shade). Most Moms were home when we got there. My friend's Mom made me eat peas when I stayed for dinner ( I could not get up from the table til I finished and I did not like canned peas) I don't remember having anything but ice cubes or ice cream in the freezer when I was in grammer school , The freezer was too small. We had neighborhood partys, of course birthdays, but also we had a "May Party" food, dancing with streamers around a May pole, games and fun. All the neighbors knew each other. When, in the winter , we went sleding at the golf course we knew every one there. We played squash in front of the house on the street , marking the bases with chalk. Cars would patiently wait til we got out of there way, they all knew us. We also played hop scotch (?sp) on the street.
