    I am soooo nervous

    in NSCLC GROUP

    Posted

    Well as you just found out you're either all wimps or it's just normal to worry! Hell, I'm a total wreck before my friends tests and it's not even me. I'm glad you're not trying to read your own x-rays. There have been some very funny stories on here about people reading their own x-rays.

    Best of luck for your tests

    Rachel update .......help !

    in SCLC GROUP

    Posted

    I am so sorry to hear about the progression of Rachel's disease. I am wondering, like Jen is, whether there has been any discussion about further treatment? It may of course be that Rachel doesn't want it but if you do know I'd be interested to learn what the docs are saying.

    Although I "talk" a lot here I am still relatively new. I have however noticed how massively popular Rachel is and I will be thinking of you all.

    Newcomer Introduction

    Welcome to you Donna. I've always used my nickname on this site although it's what everyone's always called me so it might as well be my real name! Read, read and read some more. You will find a lot of people here with your diagnosis who are doing really well. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

    my friend has lung cancer

    Welcome Mary Lou. I am the friend of a patient as well and I don't live close to her either - although I live a lot closer to her than you do to your friend.

    You need to do everything that you were doing last year because it sounds to me as though you were doing it right. I phone my friend loads, I send her e-mails and cards and in my case I am lucky enough to be able to plan to spend weekends with her. I know how you feel, it just never seems enough does it?

    I also understand all too well your fears about this terrible disease. I went through a very bleak period a few weeks back and I posted a message here that I immediately wished I hadn't. However, I had such an amazingly supportive response from people who explained that fear about the future is normal. Your friend will have her own fears. There is nothing you can do to change the biology of what's happening to her body but you can support her soul and you seem to be doing that very well.

    Good Results are in

    Well Carleen as you said 60-70 years of stable...Stable is great, you can live forever with stable. However, I too think that it's time Keith had regression and that's what I've got everything crossed for.

    Wow - what a night! Sounds like you had quite a party there and as Cindi said, great that Ron's doing so well. I am sorry to hear the extent to which ill health has hit your nearest and dearest at the same time. I'll keep you and yours in my thoughts.

    Welcome to you Frances. If you feel despodent or resigned then this really is the place to be. You won't feel so isolated and will quickly learn that there are many many people here who are doing extremely well. They'll be along to welcome you shortly.

    Cathy R has passed

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    I didn't get to know "Cathy" but I did follow her posts. I was always amazed by her strength and, as someone else has said, she never complained - even though this monster had already blighted her life prior to her own diagnosis. I know that these words are inadequate but she just seemed so nice and that is a reflection on her whole family. I am so sorry for your loss.
