  1. Hello to All! I'm a 44 year old, single mother of two, who was dx with stage IV NSCLC (Adenacarcinoma) back in December of 2006. I am also far from being a creative writer and apologize in advance for typos I would like to start by saying how impressed I am with the details (knowledge & vocab too) everyone has provided regarding their illness and treatments. I haven't kept a "diary", so to speak (probably as a form of denial), and now that I think about it, I realize a lot that has happened, both good & bad, and that I now have to rely on pure memory....(uh oh) In a nutshell, I was dx during a three week stay, at my local hospital, fighting pneumonia. They started chemo immediately, which was the Taxol/Carbo etc... that looks like just about everyone started out with, followed by Avastin, which was not effective and allowed the disease to progress. I am now on due for my 11th infusion of Alimta (2nd line?)and my most recent PET scan (March 21st) showed "decrease in disease", which I will further discuss with my Dr. on April 2nd. It's been a long, hard, hard road since my dx and with the exception of my best freind, I've been fighting this alone (while trying to raise my 16 & 12 yr old). It's that same best freind who found this website for me (I have done very little research, again possible denial??). I'm happy to know that there is a place I can go where people know what I have, what I am and what I will be going through! Wow, that was a long winded intro, didnt know I had that much breath in me..... I look forward to reading, learning, praying and being inspired by all who come here.
