  1. Hi Cheryl,

    I am new here too. Many helpful people ready to share their treatment stories, and words of encouragment. I know you can also get a lot of helpful literature from the American Lung Assoc. They also have "talked" me through my time of need. They have nurses that will explain what you need to know. Their help line number is 1-800-548-8252 M-F 7am-7pm. They have registered nurses and respiratory therapists to drill with all the questions you may have. But the people here have first hand knowlege because they have actually suffered the effects and have done the treatments. They will guide you, and may God Bless you and your family.

  2. Hi Mike,

    Thank you. I wish the best for you as well. It sounds as though you are doing it. Please stay positive. I have learned that here. Mind over matter. Take care, i will be praying for you.

    Best Wishes,

    Jessica

    Hello..tiredmom. I am from the Lancaster/York area of PA. I am sorry to hear what you and your family are going through. I can empathize with you. I have seen cancer ravage many that I love. Young and old. I guess that is why I sort of freaked out and paniced initally. But, what everyone here says is true. Stay positive, don't give up, and pray. If you need someone to talk to, I am more than willing to listen. Take care. Best Wishes, Jessica

  3. Welcome Yirol,

    I myself am new here as well, but everyone here is so very kind and helpful. My father was diagnoised with stage IV colon cancer last June 2006 at the age of 48, the docs wanted to just give him meds to keep him comfortable, but I fought for him to receive treatment. His cancer markers were at 668 last June. It was a long hard road, not the first to be traveled down, nor the last, but as of May 1, 2007, his cancer markers are at 9.2, and they declared him in remission. My point, please don't give up. There is hope, just keep praying. Miracles really do happen. My prayers are with you and your father.

    P.S.

    I love the rain too. I feel the same as you do about the peaceful, cleansing, calmness of it.:wink: Take Care, and God Bless.

  4. Hello..I am updating what I can from what they have told me. I think all of your prayers helped me. I do have to play the waiting game, but I am a lot more calmer than I was a week ago. lol. I was told I have many tiny nodules, of course, too small for biopsy, so I have to have repeated CT every three months, I do have emphysema, so I now am on an inhaler, I have to go for a pulmonary test as well, I think to determine if I need oxygen for times when I exert myself. So now, I have to wait and see if they grow or metastasis, but I am taking the supplements that Ernie has taken on his road to recovery, hoping that will give me a head start for some type of lung recovery. The doctor said that I will never fully recover though, but I have a chance, which is more than I thought I had a week ago. lol. All of you have inspired me more than you will ever know, and I want you all to know that I think about all of you during my waking hours as well as in my prayers. God Bless you all and Thank you for being here for me.

    Jessica :wink:

  5. I am very grateful for every response you all have given me. Your positivity has somewhat calmed me. My PET/CT Scan disc they had given me has a lot of hot spots in my abdomen and lung areas, but I will not have the offical results until the morning. Of course, I can not sleep, and I am re-reading all of your encouaging words to help me through this night. Again, I thank you all for listening and praying for me. I will not forget this, and I know all of your stories and will be praying for you as well. God Bless you all. And Thank You for helping me.

    All the Best,

    Jessica

  6. Hello, My name is Jessica. I am 29 and a single mom of a beautiful 10 year old little girl named Emily. On May 3, 2007, a CT Scan revealed that I had a 3mm lower right lung nodule, and a 5mm mid-lung nodule. I am very scared and fusterated. It is like pulling teeth to find out if I have cancer. I smoked for 14 years. I am taking Chantix to stop, but is it too late for me? Am I going to see my little girl grow up? Everything I have been reading about lung nodules has been very depressing. It all basically points to cancer. My health insurence isn't the greatest because I lost my job because I was sick, and it is very hard to get quality treatment, and even a straight answer. I really need someone to talk to. Everyone in my life seems to have disappeared of a sudden, and I am really scared right now. I am to have a PET Scan done tomorrow, and I have an appt. with the Pulmonary doctor on Friday, but the stress of waiting is causing me even more health problems. I also have a history of colon poylps, so that makes the fear even more intense. Any advice would greatly be appricated. Thank you for your help.
