Hello Christine & Thanks for the Welcome! I too am so sorry for your loss. It is nice that there is a forum such as this to connect to others as well as find out info on lc. Hope you are having a great day!

Hi Shelley, Thanks for your kind words. I'm sorry to hear your Mother was effected by lc too, it's so hard when such special people can get such horrible diseases. It's just not the way you think or hope things should turn out. I will continue to do what I can to help to raise awareness and funding!

Thanks for the Welcome's from everyone (Ned,Trish, Judy, & Barbara). I wish that I had the LCSC 2 years ago when I was going thru everything with my brother. It's such a hard & difficult time, especially because no one understands what it's all about unless they've gone thru it themselves. Whether they are surviving w/lc or have cared or loved someone with lc. And for the record, I agree, whether a smoker or not, NO ONE deserves this horrible disease. My only point w/stating that my brother was a Non-smoker, was just to point out that hearing a "lung cancer" diagnosis was a shock! Each year as I organize 5k runs/walks to raise $$ and awareness for lc research, I come across more & more people that have the same stories. It's a great experience though to meet all these wonderful, Inspiring people such as you Ned. My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you & your families. Keep Strong & Positive!!!

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and say Thanks for having a site such as this. My connection to lc is that my brother, Robert passed away from lc a little over 2 years ago at the age of 33. Such a devastating thing to happen to our family and friends because he was a NON-smoker & lead a very active healthy lifestyle and was a Great person. I know there are so many stories (unfortuntately)like mine. This is a nice place to share those stories and also know that there is hope w/all the research that LUNGevity Foundation is funding to one day find a cure for this horrible disease.
