Thank you all so very much ..I had been reading everything I can get my hands on. and then when I did a search for lc I found this site .....really helped me to see there are so much support for each and every person and gave me info to ask the doctor. the dx to me is keeping us in the dark we have a heart dx to help us out with some of the stuff and what to be asking ..I agree a second option is what I am asking . I have ask the dx what stage and what type are we looking at> and he looks at me as if I lost my mind. never did answer me but after reading the stories and prayers for each other has really helped to me to understand and want to do more about lung cancer . again I just say thanks so much . she is to have surgery on sept 21 2007. to take the whole lobe out .but when we go back to do the mri on 9/18/07 will take with the dx again about the other options and treatments. you all have a great day and again thank you so much your my angels of hope and a ray of sunshine .

Thank you. just don't know what is next or what to expect they have never told us what kind of cancer? or what stage it's in just what I've said is all they have said to us...just wait until surgery? doing alot of prays with the Lord and looking for some light at the end of a tunnel. they have said it;s inside of the lung. not attachted to anything. then say's might have grown into the nerves. I didn't mean to sounds mean when I put the hello at the end of my subject I didn't notice it when I was writting so please forgive me for that ..........

First off let me tell you all how much you have made me feel there is hope. and have been praying for all of you......asking God to really bless all of you. now my story . my little sister is just now 40 yrs young . thought she pulled a muscle in her shoulder so she went to dx. said shingles under the skin. went with family for a small vactions came home and said she still hurts like it's raw on the inside . went to er did a chest x-ray 8/07 said there was something on her right lung at the very top did a ct scan also in er and said yes there is a mass on the right lung .size of a golf ball said didn't give you a death sentence found a onc doctor for her to see in a few days. didn't what to do really scared. 9/07 onc dx said she thinks it's beign tumor but orderd a broncyopy came back no decision the lung dx said after a few weeks of waiting ...good news there isn't any cancer but the bad news is I didn't get the mass so they orderd a pet scan 9/4/07 pet scan done waiting for results. 9/5/ ct scan needle biopsy done waiting again for results. 9/6/07 talk to heart and lung surgeon. said the results on the pet scan came back nothing but the mass showed up, but still thinks its cancer the needle biopsy came back with suspicious cells. now 85 percent sure it's cancer. don't give her 2 yrs with out the surgery . but 85 percent with the surgery don't want to do chem or rad said it might not work......ask what kind of cancer is this? and now answer .. said with surgery she could make 5 yrs so she is going with the surgery she only weights 98 lbs a very thin lady very proud of my baby sister very close to her. the said they will have to go thru her back to take out the right lobe on the top is guess . really scared and mad feel like the dx's aren't telling us something. sister is really scared and almost out of her mind right now . I have told her to fight always has been a fighter but this time she is really scared.have told her to read these stories gives me hope when I read your stories. there is Jesus first off and then you all seem to really care about every one here and answer questions better than a dx. sorry to ramble I just don't know how to help her . so if any one can give me some answers or just to pray for her and our family she has 2 daughters one is 14 yrs and a 11 yr old and her husband is there for her all the way even going to carry her if he has too. such love he has for her .... thank you all very much and God bless you all just a blessing we had a special pray at church last night for you all here. thank s for good ole oklahoma
