Very good news Justin. Hoping and praying that this will be the end of the steroids and treatment and only scans in your future. Good luck with the physio.

[Scans done, carry on!]

So happy for the good scans for you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[Oncology counseling]

Glad you sought out the help and hope your scan brings good news

[Mri scan]

Oh Justin, I am so happy that the surgery went well and that you are getting function back on your right side! It is good to hear that your recovery is coming along and your spirits are higher.

Great news Jill!

[Horrible day]

Vent all you want Lily….life has thrown a lot at you and your family…hang in there.

[Gamma knife procedure]

Well, had the gamma knife procedure done yesterday to the left temporal lobe of my brain. My lesion had grown from 3mm to the size of a pea but surgeon said it was still small and an 18 minute treatment should do the trick. I had a plastic mesh mask molded to my face. That was a little scary as I couldn’t open my eyes or have much movement with my mouth. I think anxiety got a hold of me for a bit but I made it through. I asked if they were going to sedate me but they said no. Glad it is over and hope that it does fry the lesion. I have a follow up mri in Jan and see the surgeon.

[Persistent tumor]

AngeIL…I am so sorry to hear of the situation you are in. You have been to hell and back it sounds like. Hopefully they can find a targeted therapy that will work. I hope that these series of radiation will do the trick. Praying for you and your family.

[Mri scan]

Justin,

They are moving fast with this procedure. I totally understand your anxiety but I know you have got this and have your family and all of us supporting you. I’m sorry that your right side will get worse before getting better. Many prayers are with you.

Pam

[Gamma knife radiation coming up]

Thank you for responding Justin. I know my lesion is nothing compared to what you are dealing with. They are going to mold a mask to my face instead of the frame. Thank you for the good wishes and I am praying that your consult goes well. Take care.

Pam

[Gamma knife radiation coming up]

Hi. I am having gamma knife radiation this coming Monday for a 3mm deposit in my left temporaI lobe of brain. I was told that a side effect could be swelling in my brain occurring days, weeks, months or even years after the fact. Can anyone tell me how to tell if it is happening? Also are there any other side effects I should be aware of? Kind of nervous having this procedure done.

Pam

[1st catscan]

Hoping your scan shows good results

[Comeplete remission, again]

That is such awesome news Bro! So happy for you both. I have a 3mm deposit in the left temporal lobe of my brain that I am having gamma knife on this coming Monday. I hope that my outcome is as good as your brother’s has been. He has been on a long journey with this disease and so happy for this positive news.

Pam

[Starting Tagrisso, and quite scared!]

Hi Lily,

Hope your side effects will ease in time. Karen and Judy seem to have good advice for you. And hoping your scans will show good news.

[Mri scan]

Justin,

Do not give up hope. We are here praying for you and the brain surgeons wouldn’t suggest surgery if they didn’t think it would help. Don’t let depression get it’s hold on you. You have this.

[Starting chemo today for sclc in left lung and nodes]

Hi Richie,

I was diagnosed with Sclc in my upper right lung in November 2021. I had 4 rounds of chemo with carboplatin and etoposide. I also started 30 radiation treatments with the second round of chemo. My scans so far have been shrinkage of the nodules and stability. Hang in there and do stay positive. It is a very scary disease but know that you have friends here who are routing and praying for you.

Pam
