My sincere condolences to her family. Prayers to Janet's family. It is so hard to accept when one of our loved ones leave us... God Bless Karen

******** ********** "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A SURVIVOR" Hope your day was great... Played lots of golf and went to a nice relaxing dinner with the wife. Hang in there and praying for you every day. Karen

Dave, Get some rest, you need it after your hectic time at the docs office. Praying for you and clean scans. Keep the faith... Karen

Fay, Do you know anything about shunts in the Bronc. Tubes? Due to all the radiation I have had, they want to put a shunt in one of my bronc tubes. The Pumonist and my Onc. said that radiation shrunk one of my broc tubes. Please let me know. Warm Regards Karen P.S. I had Chemo all day yesterday and haven't had a chance to PM you, I will though.

Dearest Norme, Prayers for both you and Buddy. I know all will be Ok for your tests and Buddy's. The hard part is waiting for the results of these tests. I really enjoy reading your posts. Keep the faith... Warm Regards... Karen

Hi Norme, If you look at the website that Bob gave us, CA125 is for Ovarian Cancer, at least that is what the chart says. How can your Onc use that test for your hubby. I am really confused now. Please go back and look at the website that Bob gave to us, then let us know. Yor hubby has the NSCLC, and the CEA Markers are used for that. If I am wrong please correct me and maybe I am reading the chart wrong. Thanks, this is really confusing. Karen

Hi All, David, That was a good idea. I just e-mailed my City Council to make November LC Awareness Month as well. I hope I hear back. Will let all know. Warm Regards Karen

Christy, Prayers for you and Darrell. To make it easier on yourself, put this in the hands of God. Let the burden be on Him. It is a lot easier, all we have to do is believe. That's what I am doing, I am also waiting on a CT scan result. Scan was done last Thursday. I know it will come back clean, only scar tissue. I belive this for Darrell also. Please rest easy tonight and God Bless you both.... Warm Regards Karen

Hi All, This is not a LC issue, but then again it is, because it is hard to breathe in our area right now. I live about 20 miles from where the fires are burning right now. My home is not in danger, but it is very smokey and lots of white ash in the air. I am right off of the 15 Freeway and Gina is off of the 215 Freeway. Please pray for our friend Gina D... If you are watching the news, we have fires all over So. California. Gina lives in Crestline CA., and that area is on fire. It is a small town in a mountainous area of the San Bernadino County, CA.... It is pretty rural and we have not had any rain. I believe there is only one road that goes up there and it has been closed to through traffic. She is a single person and does have animals. I am not sure if her home is in danger, let's pray it is not. I do communicate with Gina by phone so I will keep all posted as to what is happening. I sent her an e-mail and tried to call, but no response Thank You Karen

Fay, Thank you for letting us know abot Janet. She was such a nice person, prayers for her family and son. She was oh so young.... I hate this horrible disease. Sorry to hear that you were in the hospital. Glad you are home now. Did you have pneumonia? I was in there on 9-20 with pneumonia. Hope all is well with you now and you are on the road to recovery. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Warm Regards, Karen

Peg and Bill, This is wonderful news..... Thank you for Gemzar. You need to celebrate. Keep the faith, God is good. Praying for you both. Karen

Hi Michelle, Prayers for you and your mom... Warm and gentle hugs to you. Warn Regards, Karen

Sue, That is wonderful news. I will be praying for you and hoping that these procedures will work. I am really interested in what your onc says and how are these procedures performed. Please keep us posted. Warm Regards, Karen

Norme and Bob, My CEA in March was at 13 and now I am at <.5. Does that mean that the cancer is gone? In fact the highest the CEA has been since diagnosis in March has been 13. A 60 on a CEA seems really high, sounds like a lot of cancer in the body. I am not sure. My onc still wants to give me chemo, Taxol/Carbo (This is the 4th of a three week cycle.)She then wants to put me on Taxotere, (do I need a 2nd opinion for NED?) My Pulmonary doctor says he can't find the tumor. This was based on the Bronc he did two weeks ago. My doctors are baffled and the tumor was 17cm. Did CT on Thursday, get results Monday. Onc wants to do PET, this would be second one in 4 months. My God has performed a miracle and I give him the glory. He is good. Warm Regards, Karen

Special prayers for Estelle and her family. Praying for a speedy recovery. Thank you Dave for the updated information... Warm Regards, Karen

Dear Peg & Bill, Prayers to you both for clean scans and regress on the tumors.... Keep the faith... Warm Regards, Karen
