    Back to say HI

    Hello my brothers and sisters. Just dropping by to say im doing great. July 5th was my 3-year aniv. of surviving the LC. I had surgery in the beginning of June to remove my OTHER Adrenal gland. So the count is 1 Lung and 2 adrenal glands removed. AT This point I am NED. My onoc and my surgeon sent my tumor to a lab to do what they call Chemo sensitivity test to see what chemo’s have the best reaction to the tumor. They tested 15 different chemo’s and found 8 that reacted to the tumor. 2 of the chemo’s reacted very strong to the tumor. So I am now taking the 2 chemo’s once every 4 weeks. It is a 6-hour chemo. We are doing this for preventive reasons. My Doc moved to a med center that 2 miles from my house vs 20 miles where he was before. Tomorrow I will be interviewed for an article in the med center paper. When they asked me I was so excited because I felt that for the first time I was a success story. Well I will try to keep everyone posted in the future. god bless us all RAY A

  7. I like to say hello to all my old friends and let them know I m still kicking. I had surgery in sept to remove my adrenal gland. Was tumor free for a few months but it came back in my other adrenal gland. Looking to remove that one hopefully this month. God bless us all RAY A
  8. Heather you are right for feeling the way you do. I have the same problem but have a can of "OUST" at my desk and I spray it when I smell It. I also Argee this site is been going down down down. I was member 24 when this site first started and it was the best thing that could of happened to me for support. But now I read some of these posts that just grrrrrrr make me so mad. Enough said. Thats why you guys havent seen me a lot on line lately. Instead of this site being a support group like it used to be, its turned into a chat room. God I pissed. Im outta here C YA.

  13. Hats off to you girl for such a great job on the first anual lung cancer walk/run. It was a great day and the event raised a lot of money. It was so nice seeing frends from this site there. I was just happy I made the MILE walk. I will get involed next year with you and Am already thinking of ways we can double the amount raised. Correct me if im wrong but was the amount raised $25,000? Thank you Heather for makeing a diffrence on fighting this monster. And lets shoot for $50,000. GOD BLESS YOU RAY A
  14. First I want to thank all my brothers and sisters for coming to our rescue. My wife called the nurse and also had the report sent to her. The nurse told her that she has dense breasts and they need to get another mammogram. She also said there was no signs of cancer. But when my wife got the report, she said it said something about a possible node but also said there was no signs of cancer. She has to go back Nov 18. I guess if they thought it could be something serious they would have her come in sooner. When I get home I will read the report for myself. Again I would like to thank everyone for your support.

    Worried

    This time it’s not about me. Its about my wife and caregiver. Last week she had her annual mammogram, and today she got a letter in the mail saying they want her to come in for another mammogram. Tomorrow she’s going to call and find out why. Please say an extra prayer for my wife. I hope its nothing. I hope they just didn’t get a clear mammogram. She said she doesn’t feel anything as far as a lump. The letter was a form type letter with four reasons that can be checked. One of the reasons was that they saw something and that was NOT checked. But……….I am so worried!!!!! Thanks
  16. Hay Heather, Her throwing up sounds like food poison to me. But I will say an extra prayer for your mom tonight. As far as the spot, I got the feeling its just a cyst.

    My surgery

    Hello my brothers and sisters, Just wanted to drop a note to let every one know how my surgery went to remove my adrenal gland as I promised I would. I went in Sept 3rd (day after my birthday). The surgery went very very well. My surgeon is awesome. When I woke they brought me to ICU because the nurses there only have two patients to care for at a time and my doc wanted me to have the best care. Two days I went to a regular room. The nurses were great. My surgeon said the gland came out clean and wasn’t attached to anything and there was no evidence of any other tumors. He also told me if it was him he would done the same thing. They wouldn’t let me eat anything until my organs started working (if you get what I mean). I didn’t eat for 4 days. Finally thinks started working and I was able to eat. Even thou it was a liquid diet at first and then when everything else started working and I was able to have regular food, (if that’s what you want to call it.) Well I was in the hospital for 1 week because my blood level had to rise back to be where it was before I stopped my comedian. Since I have been home I have been improving everyday. Today I got a CT scan that my Onoc wanted me to get so we have a new start point. Tomorrow I will see my Onoc and will start my chemo again. When I was in the hospital he came and visited me and I ask him what chemo we were going to do and he said he wanted to stay with the Alimta(sp?). Monday I will be back to work. That will be three weeks since surgery. I hope and pray that no more tumors come anywhere else. But to be honest I’m worried about the last scan I had when the Radiologist and my Onoc said there was a spot in my hip joint that they both felt was just bursitis. I sure hope so. Well Just want to thank all of you guys for you prayers and well wishes. Love you all God Bless Us All Ray A

    Ray's Surgery

    Hi all, Ray asked me to write to you all in order to keep you posted on his surgery. Ray's surgery went well and as expected. The doctor told us that he removed the adrenal gland and that the tumor was not attached to any other organ, nor did he see signs of cancer in his liver, intestines and pancreas. He was very positive and felt Ray's recovery should be good. He is resting in an ICU unit mainly to get the level of nursing care overnight that the doctors wanted for him. I want to thank you all personally for all the support you have/are giving my baby brother through these difficult years. As much as we all love him, we cannot understand nor give him the support that you all can. You are a big part of what makes him keep truckin. For that we are grateful. Thank you, Aggie, Ray's sister
