I finished up chemo and in remission and you would think i would be on cloud nine but the days seem so long because I don't have no energy like I use to and my husband works long days so I am alone alot but even on days he is home I don't seem to have interest in doing anything. I feel like I am a total mess. Does this sound like Depreesion and is it common with chemo? Years ago I tried zoloft but it made me feel weird and zoned out so now I am scared to try anything for it. Please help with advice.

I had my scans done and I am in remission but the doctor keeps doing chemo and I was wondering why? It seems like I ask him something and don't get an answer as to why? I am just getting weaker.

I am a smoker and trying my best to stop,you would think when I was told I had lung cancer I could quit cold turkey but with all the stress of finding out its so hard to.

my doctor today put me on xanax he said he saw more anxiety and panic than anything so now I am looking for anyone that has tried it. I am scared of alot of different pills. Thanks Robin

I need something for anxiety and the somewhat depression i feel. I am weaker since chemo and can't do the things I use to so i think its causing depression. I want to take something that will not zone me out more than I am. thank you

I don't have a clue what stage my cancer is in and the doctor doesnt say,I know it is inoperable. I have a massaround the pulmonary artery and 2 other places in the same lung also a lymph node in my neck all on the same side so what stage what that be?

I had my first chemo treatment and bounced back but now after my 2nd treatment I have felt down or something. i feel the days are so long and nothing seems to interest me so I was wondering if depression is common with chemo and if so what is a safe anti depressant? thank you

I got my port in and I am just a little sore but otherwise I did ok. thank you all for your advice. I am so thankful that I found this site.Robin

I am getting a port tomorrow,is there much pain afterwards?

I am looking for a buddy in or around arkansas. Robin

My head is not stuffed up just my nose inside feels so dry,I am running a humidfer to put moisture in the air, it just started sine chemo. thank you

I had my first chemo treatment Friday a week ago and I have been sick as a dog. I already had to have a shot because my blood count was low plus and IV of fluids because I was dyhrated from the vomiting and dirahea. I am on a 21 day cycly and will this get better with my taste and aptetite before the next treatment? I pray so.

i had my chemo treatment on Friday and my tongue is sore what can I do?

I start chemo this friday and I am so nervous,what should I expect?

I am in stage 4 the pet scan showed the mass in the lung plus 2 othr places on the same lung plus a lymph node in the neck on the same side. I start chemo Dec.28th and this is the plan.. Taxotere avastin oxliplabinevery 21 days. Has anyone done this type? I just pray it will work.

Hi Barb, How did they do the radation? I am so freaked out because I am already weak from just the cancer and I know I am going to get weaker through all of this plus I have no taste for nothing now I can only imagine how its going to be with Chemo,I can't afford to lose more than 5 to 10 lbs. I am already tiny. Thank you

when taking chemo usually how many treatments does the doctor do or rounds? Thank you

I had my needle biospy done and went back to the lung doctor today and I have non smal cell adencarconoma/ I don't know what the aden part means so now I have an appt with th ono. this Thursady, I just don't know which way to turn and I am a wreck with emotions. I wish i could just go to sleep and that be it. Robin

Thank you so much. This waiting is so very hard. I am not sleeping good or nothing. Robin

I had my needle biospy onMonday and now I wait until Dec.12 for the results. I feel like a worn out mess. Robin

I am so glad you are doing well on the chemo. My prayers are with you. Robin

I had my appt. with the lung doctor and I go Monday for needle biospy. Thank you all for the support that you give, Robin

Has anyone been faced with having no insurance? and if so what did you do. This is another thing that has me so scared. thanks again. Robin

thank you all for your encouraging words. I am trying to take one day at a time until the doctor finds out what this mass is on my left lung. My prayers are with each and everyone of you. Robin

I just found out I have a mass on my left lung. I go to the pulmonary doctor on Thursday and rom there I guess he will set up to get a biospy. I lost my father,my fathers only sister and my grandmother all with in 5 years due to lung cancer so I have little faith. I am also very tiny and not in to good of health so I am not even sure I could tolerate chemo. I am staying in tears and just about sick over this. thank you for listening. Robin
