    So far we have warmed up to 9 degrees and 10:20 am. The sun is shining so we went out and shoveled yesterdays snow off the stairs and driveway.

    Menu for turkey day is all set. I'll start the oven in a while. Right now I will finish watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade on TV.

    Happy thanksgiving

    Hi Smitty. So sorry to hear you got hit with lung cancer twice. I don't see how you could have been "back to normal" from the first time, never mine getting it again. That surgery, chemo and radiation are powerful but they really wipe you out.

    I have some lung cancer survivor friends that finally joined an exercise club to work out and build up our strength again, Have you tried that?

    Keep us posted on how you are doing.

    Hello to you and welcome. I had chemo and daily radiation so that my tumor would shrink and become operable , so no that does not make you inoperable. You can read my story by clicking below. Hope your Mom's tumor shrinks with treatment too.

    Keep us posted on how things are going

    Hi Mary. If the picture is you , you sure have a bundle of joy in your arms!

    Like the others I say Stage I is the place to Be if it has to be lung cancer! I am glad the Doctors now are rolling out a plan quickly. Let us know when the surgery is and how you are doing. I lost my R upper lobe 12 yrs ago and am still doing fine. So far cancer free, wish the best to you also.
