Way to go Don. You have been a very big inspiration to me here.

Great News!!!

Hi folks,I was just wondering if any of you get a slight pain in your upper arm like someone slugged your arm? Sometimes the pain goes up toward the neck a little.I just had xray amonth ago and it looked good.My next onco visit and ct scan is in late dec. I keep thinking its just the way i slept on it but there is always that slight worry that you know who has returned.Its on the side of my remaining lung.Thanks Mike

Wishing you well Ken.

HIp Hip Hooray. Thank tou Connie and Katie.

Im so sorry Mary,The same thing kind of happened to me. I hope you can get him sighned up for disability as soon as possible.You wont be elgible for medicare until he has been on disability for 2 years. I been on cobra so far and it is expensive but some how we get by. For a long time I thought if I could just get back to work everything would return to normal. I quess i was in a form of denial.In a way Im kinda glad my employer made the descion for me. I hope and pray the best for you and your husband.Mile

Hi Hope and welcome.Your Moms treatment sounds alot like mine.I didnt have to much trouble with the chemo. I did have loss of appetite and was tired alot but I think alot of that was from the pain meds from surgery.Im glad your Mom was able to have the surgery.My hair did thin out a little but not to much.I pray all goes well for you and your mom.

Hi and welcome Wendy.I hope you keep coming for help and support. You will find many here with stage 4 cancer that will be glad to share with you.There is also a live chat on Tuesday nights and everyone there has or had lung cancer or is a family member or caregiver. I hope and pray the best for you in this.Mike
