  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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!

    HOPE

    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. :D:D:D:D:D
