  1. Oh Laurie,

    I am so sorry to read your post. What an horrendous disease. Please know you and your family have my prayers.

    Eternal rest be granted unto him oh Lord, and may Your perpetual light shine upon him always. May he rest in peace.

    Blessings,

    Jen

  2. Rob,

    Thank you for your uplifting post. We all need these, and there are so many people who visit, who never post, but who need at least one success story to hang their hat on, and make their own. If one person can do it...so can others.

    Blessings to you...congrats on the remission...and I am so glad you are joining us...but wish you never had to go through all I am sure you have.

    Blessings,

    Jen

  3. Paul,

    Welcome aboard. I am so sorry that you need to be here, though. Please know you have come to a wonderful place, filled with wonderful people who share in this horrible disease. Be sure to update your profile...

    Blessings,

  4. My neighbor's sister was recently diagnosed, and it was staged at NSCLC Stage II. First of all...what does this mean?

    She told me that there was lymph node involvement in 2 of the nodes, and that they did surgery to remove 1/4 or 1/2????? of one of the lungs.

    This is the part I don't understand, and I hope someone can explain it...

    She is opting not to have chemo because right now they "have it 50/50. If they do chemo it only gives another 4%." I think this is what I heard and I don't know what that means....in the SCLC world, chemo is VITAL...is it not that way for NSCLC?

    Thanks guys...you are the best.

  5. I agree...don't be afraid to look into another doc. i can say that while dad had mild headaches (and he is a tough old bird) he never had anything unbearable.

    I, on the other hand, am an advocate for PCI, as SCLC is so microscopic that there is no way they could know it was somewhere until it grew big enough to see and then in that case, it because a treatment issue in a different way.

    I support you no matter what you decide, so know I am here for you!

  6. Grrrrrr....take a look at Don (from Texas') post in My Story...I think he had something similar to this and is now 5 years out of remission...and we all know what that magical 5 year mark means...CURED!

    Stay strong and have hope!

  7. Liza,

    I am so sorry that you needed to find us, but since you are faced with this horrible disease, I want you to know that we are here for you and we will provide you with hope, encouragement, a shoulder to cry on, and whatever we can.

    Blessings,

    Jen

  8. Oh, how I know how you are feeling. It is so fearful...Cancer causes us to be fearful...as it robs us of what we know, what we love, and what we hold so dear...some-of-which is the normalcy of our lives.

    May you know God's peace...

    Jen

  9. Oh Carrie...your words are so real, your feelings so raw, so believable, so exactly what so many are feeling. May you continue to know God's grace, God's peace, and God's warm hand.

    As I always say, if there is anything I can do...please don't hesitate to ask. I am here for you.

    Jen

  10. Welcome aboard. Wow...what a story. It sounds like you are most blessed with a wonderful family, God gift of healing, and a fantastic attitude.

    Keep us in the loop and glad you joined us...though I wish you never would have had to!

    Jen

  11. Boy,

    I don't know what to say about the insurance...I am sure that someone here will have some advice.

    Please know we are here for you. Stay strong, and be sure you check into anti-depressants for mom...I used to be against them, but I do believe they helped my dad get through this. The world is rocked, and if a little pill will make it more bearable and give back some spirit, don't be afraid. PM me if you have any more specific questions about it!

    Jen

  12. Tina,

    Stay strong girl! You always do...thanks for coming to us. Hopefully we can help...you are so, so supportive of others, and need to know how much we appreciate you here. You are NOT a complainer!

    Stay strong!

    Jen
