I know that she loves me, I also know that for whatever reason shee gets more upset when she speaks to me than to my older sister. My sis lives only a few hours away so my Mom sees her more. I have decided to write her, that way she can read the letters of encouragement and either write back or call, whichever she prefers. Thank you for your responses, it helps to hear them. Jana

Mom has had her MRI to confrim PET results. Unfortuanetly, the cancer has spread. Bone mets. Her Dr. wants her to do a clinical trial. (Drug: Erlotinib HCl (OSI-774) Drug: Bevacizumab) It's a phase IIIb trial. I don't know anything other than that. I have tried calling her but she won't answer her phone or return my calls. I hope she comes around. I live in MN and she is in GA. I visited her this past weekend and we had a good time. We laughed and cried and she made bad, morbid jokes. I thought she would be okay, but now she isn't talking to me. My Dad says she is just to upset and that she will come around. I hope so.

I really appreciate all the support and kind words. My Mom is 55 yrs old. She is the strongest person I know. She can beat this. I just know it. Thanks again everyone.

Hello. I just found out my Mom has been diagnosed with NSCLC adenocarcinoma. She has a tumor in her upper left lung. It is the size of a quarter. She found out her PET scan results yesterday. It has spread to her C7 vetrebra and two of her ribs. Does anyone here know anything about this type of cancer? It was caught by chance. Her doc was leaving so she sceduled a physical and for no reason at all he decided to do an x-ray of her chest. He was shocked. She is so healthty, we are all so surprised with this news. She isn't even sick. No symptoms. Any advice or support would be appreciated.
