Very good news CharlieD!!Stable is good.You give us hope that chemo can keep it down.I wich you a very happy summer ans lots of bass and trouts! I was planned for pleurodes today but they say fluid is now stable-hope and pray chemo does it for me to.So ther was no pleurodes done. still on my first chemo carboplatin and Gemzar.had started my 3 round today.

Chemo seems to help on primary tumor but increase of fluid in pleura-planning pleurodes to glue pleuras together. Anyone have expirience of that?Is it allways sussesful?

Hello Youngnblessed ! Sorry to find you here on this board.But you will find a lot of encourings here-we are many with LC.Often relatives feel more need for support than the induvidual with LC. Keep on posting.We are all a big family to support and pray for you

Went fishing myself and some good friends this weekend.Got a pike of 6 kilo! X-ray showed susp fluidincrease but thoracocentes 4 days later only 1 liter-thought to be more.New x-ray showed no fluid and already some shinkage of tumor.Pray this will conntinue!

Yes-looking at your BIO it looks verty much like my own have started.

Thanks for all support.Yes I really learned new things now-do have different aspect and much more passion and tollerans in all my feelings. 3 weeks ago when I got my diagnosis I got allmost into panic-tried to see it as a neutral observer but truth came back-couldnt hide. Now I tolled all my friends and collerges about my lungcancer-feel support and last days feeling good also in my mind. Dont feel any nausea or other side effectc of chemo yet I know Im loved and the battle has started.
