Good afternoon! MI Judy, I'm hoping your scans are ok and that you can post the resuts ASAP.
Am I the only one who has noticed that the list of birthdays on the index page includes many, many people whose names are only a series (random, probably) of letters? What do you think that's all about?
Hope everyone has a good day.

Congratulations, Donna.
Thinking I should move back to Minnesota - you guys are such long survivors! Wishing you many more years.

Like MI Judy, I had no idea she was having any problems now. I'm so sorry that we have lost her.

Judy, I'm so sorry. This isn't going to be a lot of fun, but you can do it and we're all here to help you.
Sending prayers.

Also, Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Northwestern in Chicago, and, as Randy mentioned, Duke in NC. As I recall, Ted Kennedy went to Duke.

These centers typically rank very high in the Newsweek rankings:
Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) in NYC
MD Anderson Houston
Dana Farber (Boston???)
Johns Hopkins Baltimore
I'm sure there are other - just can't think of them now. "Google" best hospital Lung Cancer and see what that brings up.
Good luck.

Thanks for the recipe, Judy. It sounds delicious and I'll try it soon. I'm always looking for good, easy recipes.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. If you are driving this weekend, watch out for the idiots who want to get "there" before you do (even if only by a car length).

It's almost dinner time, but I don't feel that I can complain about people not posting if I don't do it myself.
MI Judy, is your hash brown casserole from one of the lung cancer cookbooks that Andrea did? If not, would you share the recipe?
Ginny, I love the Good Wife. Despite your review, I'm still going to see J Edgar. I let you know how bored I was. A friend of mine died on Christmas morning from colon cancer. At dx, they told her 6 - 12 months, but she lived for 2 and a half yrs. with a good quality of life most of that time. What surprised and scared us was that she was the healthiest person I knew - good weight, BP, cholesterol ok, excercised a lot, went running every day, ate really healthy foods. Obviously, there is something about cancer that we don't understand.
Lily, have a wonderful trip to LA and a great vacation. You deserve it.

I'm really happy for you and your family. I'm sure she will get the care she needs at Northwestern. Outstanding hospital and outstanding cancer care.

Hi Beth,
I remember you. It has been a long time since we heard from you. Obviously you've been busy. Good for you! I'm really happy to hear that you've remarried and are happy. Your grandson is darling.
We'd like to hear from you a little more often!

As if he doesn't have enough problems, now he has "treatable" lung cancer. (4pm NBC affiliate in Orlando).
I suggest prayers.

Congratulations!

I'm so sorry. In fact, I'm shocked - I didn't realize she wasn't doing ok. What a tragedy. She leaves such a nice family.

Sorry I gave you such a bad time on the "Good News" board. Good to hear from you!

Hi Bruce. That's great news! A lot of us have been wondering what had happened to you. As you know, typically, when someone doesn't post for a long, long time, it means very, very, very bad news. I was beginning to think the worst. Please, please touch base with us more often. Thank you.
I, too, have the increased scanxiety problem It's been 8 and a half years now and my scans are once a year. Every Jan, I'm terrified.
What's going on in your life? the farm? the critters? Tell us!
Please keep in touch.

Welcome, Janet. Sorry about the cancer, tho. I think you'll find lots of help and many friends here.

Hi Melinda,
I remember you, too. It's nice to see you back here, but sorry that you have reason to be here. Do keep us posted on how your step-dad is doing.

I love to hear good news! Thanks.

That's good new, Judy. Glad to hear it.

Hi Karen,
I have the same story to tell as Stephanie. Gemzar alone caused almost no discomfort, but paired with cisplatin I was a mess. I was on the same protocol as Stephanie, also. By the last treatments, I was exhausted and slept a lot. It took a while to recover from all that, but chemo followed surgery and it was my second surgery in 18 mo.
Hugs and prayers!

Kasey, you're really getting to be one of the "old" ones here. I am older tho, in years and survivorship (8 yrs last April). I'm so happy that you kept looking for a treatment plan that you liked. Have you had any recent contact with the doctors that "wrote you off?"
Best wishes for many, many more of these celebrations.

It's not likely that many people on this board know very much about thyroid conditions. What we have in common is lung cancer. You might try an internet search on Serum Thyroglobulin test. Good luck.
