  1. Hi Dick, I can't be of much help with the pain but do drink lots of water. Most of my pain was caused from radiation burn on my skin. As for the smoking I swear to you that I tried EVERYTHING known to man from patches, pills, hypnotism etc etc etc. What finally worked for me was setting my mind to quitting and littering (beat me) the highway all the the way home from a doctors appointment with my LAST pack of smokes. Yep, I went cold turkey and found it very easy. The trick is you have to have the WANT more than you want the smoke.

  2. Hi Bruce and welcome to LCSC. The final decision will be yours or course so you need to arm yourself with all the information you can stand to absorb and then take it from there. Keep us posted.

    P.S. with red face Christine you had already cut his message out and started it here. Sorry.

  3. Welcome Cy to a message board filled with great people and lots of support. Keep us posted on what is going on with you. Congrats on that baby!!!

    Bruce you might want to post your question as a separate thread or perhaps a moderator and sort it out from the thread. LOL

  4. So sorry Randy. I watched the accidentally taped segment again and what they said was that it was a Clinical Trial that utilized traditional radiantion with a TIME sensitive chemotherapy. They did not mention any drugs or anything else. It was done by a Dr. Nader at CTA. I just wanted to post this to clarify my last post. I must have been delerious!!!

  5. Randy my dear friend and great chat moderator. I was taping something on tv last night and let the tape run a bit to long. I picked up something on our Channel 6 news station about a new trial radiation type therapy being utilized by the Cancer Treatment Center. I am going to go online and see if I can find out anything but was wondering if you knew of anything new going on in that area.

  7. Welcome Dick. Once a treatment plan is in place things will begin to shape up around the NEW normal. Keep us posted on how things are going. As for the question in one of your other posts about friend and family ... I posted right after last Thanksgiving when I was feeling quite sorry for myself. Now that another Thanksgiving is rolling around I have learned to deal with things a lot differently.

    ((Ry)) sorry does not even come close. There are no words to express it .... special prayers are being said for you and the kids.

  8. I wanted to post on the thread by Rochelle under test and time updates and when I scrolled down it said the topic had been locked. I have been around about a year and a half and not run into this before .. or I just neve noticed it. Can someone enlighten me as to the cause for a topic to be locked? Thanks for the help folks.

  9. Jim it sounds like they caught whatever it is early. My NSCL adenocarcinoma was inoperable and I received chemo and radiation therapy at the same time which has kept it stable for over a year now. Once they have a treatment plan in place you will be so busy you will not have the time to fret and things will hopefully become easier for yout o deal with once they determine exactly what is going on. Fill our your profile and keep us advised.

  10. Mike I had no surgery but do experience some pains like you and Kasey described ... my Onc said some of it is caused my "residual radiation" damage. They have put me on Lyrica to see if it will decrease the pain my next PET is schedule in January. Until then I just pray that it is ONLY radiation damage or even arthritis. Best to you and keep us updated please.
