I am glad everything went fine but sorry for the pain she is in!
She will be ok!!

Good for you Judy!!!
I am so very happy!!!!!

Yes Judy. My sister received her diagnosis several years after me but was not as lucky as me. I had stage 1A no chemo nor radiation. Hers had lymph nodes positive so she needed chemo and radiation. Doc staged her at 3a or B. She had another nodule for two years that was not really growing so they recently did a biopsy and it was a different kind of tumor. She just had the cyberknife so we will see the results soon!
best to you
Key West---my dream place. I am hoping I am able to visit there one day!!!
-
My sister just had it--She gets a scan soon to see if it removed the small tumor. I will let you know the results
Her breathing is pretty bad so docs did not want to operate again (this is her 2nd unrelated tumor--1st was removed surgically several years ago

thanks

My sister did fine with cyberknife. She had it for three days in a row last week.
Her first cancer was squamous cell; this one is unrelated and adenocarcinoma--but it has been there for a few years and never really grew.
So the prognosis is excellent!!!!
she has many other health issues but I am glad this one should be ok
best to everyone

You are my heros!!!!

Please let us hope she is so ok--just knocked out from her cruise.

But it had nothing to do with me--by all odds with my pessimistic attitude, I should have been long gone and Katie's dad should be sitting here tending my garden in Long Island( I wish) and I should be planted under the black eyed susans!
I guess my point being --please do have an optimistic attiude and whatever you need to do to get through it--what ever way is best for you--go for it!!!!!

my best to everyone

Are they for? and at my sisters suggestion --are they worth any money (lol)
seriously my sister is the last relative I have left on this earth--she is 65, I am 62. I would crawl up and die without her
-
But my sister had to have some gold things injected in her before she gets cyberknife(I am not sure of the details)
she said make sure we get them out and sell them when she dies
I said wait a sec, u are being cremated--she said but gold should seep through the ashes!!!
I love my sister so very much--Nothing can happen to her!

I have always related to the pain you have gone through
damn---- life should not have to be so tough!!
there is nothing worse than losing your mama
and losing your father in a way --so very painful
however,
enjoy your babies! They are so cute!
You have had such a rough time--but you have endured!!!!
My heart goes out to you
hugs from far away!!!

I think you expressed my feelings very well--
I am sorry the original poster really took offense in my posting and sent me a kind of nasty pm --it was so not appreciated
Sorry Michelle, I so offended you, my post was never, never meant to take away anyone's hope. Always have hope! There are tons of stage 4 cancer patients that are still alive after many many years!
My intention was to say no one can ever tell another person how to feel about their journey. Each person has to do it their way !
We had Dean Carl on here years ago who opted to do without treatment--but always had a positive attitude. His messages are still here. Maybe he had an unconventional way of doing things, but it was his way and his life!
He listened to his birds in his backyard at the end and was very very at peace with his decision.
Yes I was stage one and am ok but my sister is not. I also lost both parents to lung cancer. So to say that in the pm to me that because I was stage 1 and imply that I do not know about lung cancer, was just very wrong!
again, I am sorry I offended you, I guess I did not get the words across very well
However, please do not PM me again, I will delete before reading.

My sister, as many of you know was diagnosed also in 2005 with lung cancer but could only have a wedge resection due to her breathing. We think she was 3A but cannot be sure because all of the lymph nodes could not be got to. She has had this nodule in her lung for three years, it never got bigger. However, she had a recent biopsy at the request of her oncologist and it was positive for cancer. She will have cyberknife on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd.
It seems like her first was squamous cell--she went through chemo, radiation, the whole nine yards
this is adenocarcinoma
I know Joel had cyberknife and had wonderful results!!!
Thank you

Not every experience of this is painful!!!!
I needed to stay in the hospital some extra days because there was an air bubble in my draining tube that no body knew about, Once they fixed that I was out of there!!
I went home from the hospital and vacuumed-(cat hair all over) --I walked up to the store the next day
everyone had a different experience --no two are alike
so it is hard to tell what to expect
i went back to work I think in 2 months commuting very far, others cannot do this
so do not expect your experience to mirror others--
wishing you the best
