Well you sure came to the right place for support! I know how hard this must be for you, I wasn't the main caregiver for my Dad who had NSCLC but my Mom was and I know it's alot of work.

Joyce, I my Heart goes out to you and your family at such a difficult time. I only recently joined this group of wonderful people after losing my Father to NSCLC on 11-18-05 he was only 66 years old way to young just like your husband. We have to keep telling ourselves that there not in pain any more and try to find comfort in that. Stay Strong Michele Father Dx 4-01-05 NSCLC Passed Away 11-18-05

Good for you! You go and have a GREAT Vacation and leave all your worries in NY.. You deserve it!!!! Michele

Hello everyone, Today is Saturday 2/18/05 exactly 3mts since my Father passed away and to make matters worse tommorrow is my Mothers Birthday so I thought it would be a good idea to spend the day with her. O my God! First when I got there she tells me she saw a mouse (what a big ordeal) I told her not to get excited we would get some mouse traps,she was so upset over this I couldn't believe it. Then I wanted to take her to lunch but she didn't want to go. I was able to talk her in to Dunkin Donuts for a cup of coffee then the Cemetery. My Heart is broken! I can't stand the thought of never seeing my Father again and seeing my Mother in so much pain is just awful and there's NOTHING I could do. My Mother likes to be home she said she finds comfort there, I find when I'm over her house I'm smelling his clothes and his hats he wore after the Chemo and anything else that might have his scent on it. I'm sorry for rambling on! I could bearly see the computer screen through the tears flowing down my face. PLEASE HELP!! It does get better right? Life can't go on like this. I'm 41 years old and I want my Daddy!! Thanks Michele

I'm so sorry for your loss! Michele :cry Dad Dx 04-01-05 NCSLC Passed away 11-18-05 Only 66 years old

Krista, Welcome! I'm sorry you have to be here but it a great place in so many ways. I can't help you with the Tarceva questions but I'm sure at least one of these wonderful people will be able to help you out. Good Luck your in my Prayers! Michele Dad DX 04-01-05 Passed away 11-18-05 Only 66 years old

Dave, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Thank God you were able to be with her when she passed. My Father Passed away on 11-18-05 @ 66 years old and we were lucky enough to be by his side. I think it does help with the greiving process to know that you were with them until the end. Take care of yourself and your Dad he is going to need alot of support. Michele Dad DX 04-01-05 Passed away 11-18-05

Erin, I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am that you have to go through this. My Dad was Dx with NSCLC on April 1, 2005 at 66 years old and we lost him on Nov 18,2005 so I know how heart broken you are. I was very close to my Dad, I spoke to him at least 3 times a day and saw him at least 4 time a week. I miss him so much I can't even deal with the pain.But, I have 2 sons that my Father thought the world of and my job now is to raise them to be the man my Father was.I no my Father would be devasted if he thought for a minute that they were not getting the attention they need. I'm sure your Mother would want you to Raise your Children and be the best Mom you could be to them.. Time will help just give yourself a chance. I still cry everyday but not as often and the hole in my heart will always be there. REMEMBER: You get over a cold not the loss of a loved one. You just learn to live with it. Michele

Jodi, I'm so sorry that your Mom was diagnosed with Lung Cancer, It's very scary to hear those words but NEVER EVER give up hope.
