Carleen, I am so sorry. I am praying for comfort and strength for you. Take care of yourself. Nancy B

Definitely a spa, my idea of roughing it is room service. I think I like Cindi's spa, sounds wonderful.

Hi Dani, welcome. I'm in California too. You will find much support here, just let us know what we can do to help you. Take care, Nancy B

Don, you are too funny!

Lynda, Thanks for posting this. I received the e-mail also. Nancy and I were friends and did the Wellness Community "Frankly Speaking about Lung Cancer" together. She was a fighter and was instrumental in getting the State of California to declare November "Lung Cancer Awareness Month" She was co-chair of the California Committee of Lung Cancer Alliance. I am so very sad over this news. Nancy B

You guys so deserve this. Do you have anyone that can video the ceremony? This is sooooo exciting. Who are they playing that night? Congrats you two. Love and hugs, Nancy B

Carleen and Keith, I wish there was something I could do or say to make things better - I have no words. I am praying for that miracle. Love you both. Hugs, Nancy

soon

Just got my copy and the article and pictures of Hebbie (Heather) are just wonderful. We so need so many more articles like this. Thanks Heather for representing all of us. Hugs, Nancy B

Carleen, many prayers coming your way. You guys just really need a break. You are still on my Mom's prayer list in Florida too. Hugs, Nancy B

My doctor recommended Boost Plus for added calories along with the nutrition.

Thanks Cindy and Don, don't know what I would do without you guys. I have only had one "meltdown" and think I have gotten back on track. I really appreciate the encouragement. Hugs, Nancy B

Becky, thanks for your reply. It's the only one I got before everything went to ...... anyway. I am having PET scan on Tuesday morning and if it lights up, then they will have to figure out a way to get a piece of it to biopsy. I have had both nsclc and sclc, so, if it is c. then they have to figure out which one to treat it appropriately. Thanks Becky. Hugs, Nancy B

Carleen, I just called my Mom in Florida and she is a great prayer warrior. You and Keith are on her prayer list (she prays several times a day over her list) and she is also e-mailing her other prayer partners. Love, hugs and prayers, Nancy B

Hi all, if this needs to be moved to another forum, please do so - wasn't sure where to put it. I had my regular 3 month scans last week. I don't see the oncologist until Thursday, but I picked up the written report last Friday. It says "There is a probable left hilar lymph node measuring 1.6 cm, slightly larger compared to prior study" There has never been a mention of ANY lymph nodes in any "prior study" I had so many lymph nodes taken out with my first surgery (upper left lobectomy-all negative), that my surgeon said there wasn't much to take out with the wedge resection the second time. I guess I am just looking for....I don't know what I am looking for!!! Do you think this is something that they will want to biopsy? Remember, second time I had sclc, so I sure don't want to wait around on this. My second tumor was 1 cm, isn't this kinda big (1.6 cm) for a lymph node? Don't know what I would do without you guys. Thanks, I love you all! Nancy B

Dear, dear Carleen, After I read your post I went into the bedroom and got down on my knees to pray for that miracle. Through my tears I asked God to heal Keith. I just don't know what else to do, but I sure can keep praying. Love and hugs to you and Keith, Nancy B

Oh Andrea, a great big hug for you. Love and hugs, Nancy B

Welcome Krissie, but sorry you have to be here. Let us know how we can help you. There are many survivors here and I bet we can answer alot of your questions - just ask. Take care. Nancy B

Andrea, I am so happy for you. Just hang in there and I bet your little one will too. Many prayers coming your way. Hugs, Nancy B

Good Luck Joe. I did a half-marathon (run/walk) three years after my first lobectomy to raise money ($2600) for The Wellness Community. It was so much fun, I did another a few months later. Our trainer had us run 3 minutes, walk 1 minute. It worked for me - actually I think I walked 3 minutes and ran 1 minute. I think it is great that you guys are doing this. Hugs to you and your family and God Bless. Nancy B

Love your chronicle of the Relay for Life. I have participated in 3 Survivor Laps and plan on doing many more. Hugs, Nancy B

Shirlie, Take care not to get dehydrated. I had chemo on Thursdays and went in Fridays for IV hydration. Also, kept a box of ginger cookies nearby at all times. Good luck to you. Hugs, Nancy B

Janice, so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Your Dad is at peace now and I am praying for comfort for you. Hugs, Nancy B

Glad you're back - stay a while. Hugs, Nancy B
