Hi Lynda, Maybe it is a cracked rib - I have had two thoracotomies and each time they have taken pieces of two ribs to get to the lung. Maybe the tech was seeing a crack and thought he had had lung surgery. Just a guess. I hope all is well and it is nothing more than a cracked rib. Take care. Hugs, Nancy B

Teri, May God bless you and comfort you. You and your family are in my prayers. Love, Nancy B

Hi Chris Angel, what a nice thing for you to do. Thank you. Keep fighting for that cure. Hugs, Nancy B

I admire you Debi for being able to keep quiet. I am afraid I wouldn't have been quite so professional, I would have probably said something, but like you said, that was not the time or place. The Pink gets to me too. I have friends that have breast cancer and I pray for them, but..... Maybe we need a different color than "clear", something to stand out. If the general public could just "see" us - that we are normal people just like them. I like the idea of a billboard campaign with us ordinary people talking about lung cancer. Thanks Debi for venting. It is nice to see that other people feel like I do. Hugs, Nancy B

YEA TO LORI'S MAMA! Keep up the good work. Hugs to both of you Nancy B

Welcome Molly, it is good that you have such a positive attitude. I am in SO CAL too - my docs and surgeries were in Pasadena. Let us know what we can do to help you. Keep in touch Hugs, Nancy B

Thanks Randy - really appreciate your information. Nancy B

Jim, sure hope the Tarceva works for you. I am praying that it will. Hang in there and keep fishing with that cutie grandson. Hugs and prayers, Nancy B

Lori, I am so sorry to hear all of this. It just isn't right. I don't have any suggestions for you, but bless your heart for fighting so hard for your Mom. I am praying for both of you. Hugs, Nancy B

Peggy, so glad you are feeling better. Just take good care of yourself, Love and hugs, Nancy B

Prayers for your daughter for a successful, safe pregnancy. How hard this must be for you. Take care. Nancy B

Hi Adela, we should get together sometime. We don't race at Irwindale - the track is just too short for a car that goes over 250 mph. We tested there once (just making half passes) but the neighbors complained about the noise so we had to stop and go home. We do race at Pomona and Fontana. Let's keep in touch - not too many of us Californians here. Hugs, Nancy B

Larry, we will miss you. Take care of yourself and stop in for a visit now and then. God Bless, Nancy B

Welcome Penny. It is a very scary time but we are right here when you need us. I think once you get a plan of attack in place you will feel much more in control. I am 6 years out from nsclc and almost 2 years with sclc. Let us know what we can do to help you. Hugs and prayers, Nancy B

Congrats Bill, so glad everything is looking good. Just keep up the good work. Hugs, Nancy B

So true. My angel is 9 year old Mollie (yellow lab). She has the run of the house and doesn't realize she is a dog. We have to spell everything. She comes to the office with me everyday and when I have to leave her at home to go shopping she is very unhappy. She sat at my feet when I was going through chemo. What a comfort, I just love her sooooo much. Thanks for the post. Nancy B

Such good news Jamie. I am so happy for you. GOD IS GOOD, INDEED! Hugs, Nancy B

Hi Tracy, welcome. You are on my prayer list and I will continue to pray for good results from your treatments and for comfort for your children. I am sure they are so scared. Just stay with us and let us know what we can do to help. Your Aunt Kasey is a sweetheart. Take care and if you have any questions about different treatments, there is bound to be someone here that has "been there, done that". Hugs and Prayers, Nancy B

Tina, I am so sorry. Prayers for peace and comfort for you and your girls. Hugs and Prayers, Nancy B

I started yesterday. This is good - but then again, I am one to drink the salad dressing out of the bowl when I am done with the salad and oh, I like to drink pickle juice too. I am doing a tablespoon at a time - how much are you suppose to take? Thanks Shellie. Nancy B

Chris, welcome. I am so sorry about your friend. I appreciate your efforts to help find a cure - we need all the help we can get. Let us know what we can do to help you through your grief. Hugs, Nancy B

After 5 tries on 3 different computers, it is NOT moving. I wanna see it move.

So sorry to hear this - he will be missed. Nancy B

Hi Natalie, I live in La Canada and haven't heard of this yet. I would love to help but I don't play golf. Any idea why La Canada was chosen for the tournament? Just curious. We have sure had our share of cancer in this little community. Let me know what I can do. Hugs, Nancy B
