Wendy, Sounds like you have been through the mill. I have given the Neurologist my Oncologist's name, etc. I will definetly stay with my Oncologist. The problem was it takes so long to see a Neurologist at Loma Linda Univ. Hosp. and it was actually the radiologist oncologist who suggested I see someone at Eisenhower. Is that your little girl, what a doll. Thanks for your input

I was diag.with Stage IV nsc lung cancer in Jan. I have had 7 months (7 rounds of chemo and just finished 37 Foton and 15 proton radiations yesterday. I have had a lot of leg spasms, pain in back (have had 2 back surg) dr's have given me pain pills no help. Saw a neurologist today, and he wants to do an emg tomorrow and full spine neck to feet MRI next week, he is looking for tumors. Wouldn't you think my other oncologists would be checking that? I had an MRI end of Oct. for lower spine? didn't show anything. The radiologist oncologist is the one who recommended my seeing a neurologist. ANy help here? Thanks, Judy

I see after reading your post again your dad was diag. in April.

Hi, I haven't posted anything for several months. I have NSC lung cancer, Stage IV. Finished 3 months of chemo-starting to feel human again. Noticed the last month blood in mucous and this morning it is hurting to take a breath. I haven't had any other symptoms throughout this diag. (Jan 07) no cough, just tiredness. Any thoughts on this- doesn't sound good to me. Thanks, Judy
