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!!!
