Great news Joanie! Praying that you/we all continue to stay with good positive news.

That is certainly good news Fred. I certainly am praying for good scans for Kasey. Carol

Darrell was a truly great guy. I am so very sorry for your and our loss. Carol

On this date two years ago I was diagnosed with lung cancer from my biopsy results. Later I was staged IIIA. I am so grateful to God, my family, friends and the people on this website to be here two years later and cancer free. Thank you all. Carol

Wonderful news! Praying for continued success. Carol

Congratulations! You will be wonderful! Carol

Hi Kim, The first thing that your dad needs to know is that there are many survivors of stage 3a lung cancer. I was diagnosed with stage 3A lung cancer in 2005. I had 6 weeks of daily radiation and weekly chemo. The radiation takes less than ten minutes each day after your initial first day set up. The chemo was not bad. They give you a lower dose when you are having radiation concurrent with chemo. I never got sick nor did I lose my hair. I had surgery in July 2005. My surgeon removed my upper right lobe and 20 lymph nodes. My pathology report was negative for cancer. I had two more sessions of the same but a stronger dose of chemo after surgery. This time I did lose my hair and felt aches about the second day after infusion and that lasted about three days. I teach high school and I was back at work in September. I am now 58 years old. My scans have been clear since my surgery. This is doable. I was sooooooo scared in the beginning. It is doable. Hope this helps. I will be praying for your dad. Carol

Great News Kevin, I also traded my cigarettes for life. It has been two years now. Congratulations! Carol

I am so sorry to hear what the long term effects of chemo and radiation have caused you. Do you think this might be something that you could ask Dr. West about. There has got to be a solution for this problem that works for you. Carol

I am very saddened to read this information. My prayers for her family and that all the work that she has done will lead to a cure in 2007. Carol

I am so sorry for all that you all have had to go through. My prayers for you and your family. Carol
