Thank you for the kind responses. I have found out through this ordeal that there are many people in this world that really care. I appreciate your kindness. We are all battling a monster and together we can make a diffrence in this battle. If there is anything I can do to help any of you, I am here and I will help. I am located in White lake, Michigan (North of Detroit). I am interested in finding others in the area to develop a support group or something. I feel I have to get more involved to safe my life and others. There is a reason I have this, I don't know why, but I am going to try to find out. thanks again, Krissie

I was 35 when I was diagnosed with Stage IV BAC. I have never smoked and I have always taken care of myself. Because of that, I am still alive and fighting this diease head on. I am continually looking for ways to fight this and I am looking for the best doctors around. I have 5 children (11-16) that I need to be around for. There isn't more that I want then to be a grandma and I need to be here a while for that. I live in Michigan but would travel anywhere to get the treatment needed. So far, my only treatment has been Tarceva. At my last scan in March, I was told there hasn't been any progression. That is good, but I would still like to see it get smaller. Although you are unable to tell that I am sick, I feel a little be more worn as days go by, whether that is age or diease, who knows.
