I just came across this website.
My wife is 42 years-old and has nsclc; she had a lobectomy in March and was told it was a Stage 1. In July, it had metastasized to her brain; Gamma knife procedure was performed in July and that took care of her tumor. In the meantime, 2 masses were found in her pelvis - biopsies showed it was malignant. She in now on Chemo, 3 weeks in her 1st treatment (Taxol/Carboplatin) and does not suffer side effects too much. Her hair just started falling. Next Chemo treatment is scheduled for Sept. 12.
This is the only hope we have at this time. We have to boys (7 and 13) and they don't quite understand. This is a mess....
I am glad I found this website. Looking forward to learn from y'all.
Johnny.
