Hi Ned
Yes it was such a relief hearing that one little word "NED".
You are correct about more than one nodule in the same lobe making me a Stage 3B. I'm told it represents a high risk for a recurrence. I really have not had much encouragement from my oncologist, but have read several positive articles on the internet about T4N0M0.
I actually asked for the chest x-ray myself because I had an upper respiratory infection that was lingering. Never did I think it was cancer. I quit smoking in June of '98 and thought my lungs had healed and was out of the woods as far as LC. Oh well, life is full of surprises, but this is one I wish I did not have to experience. However, I believe every experience has some positive aspects.
I'm feeling well and am thankful for that. How about you Ned are you feeling well? I wish you all the best and thanks for writing to me. Colleen
