  1. Welcome to you and your husband .Just the word cancer can frighten you to dealth let alone what the treatment is going to be. I was diagnosised in October of last year with NSCLC and operated on quickly,never had a chance to get second opinion.Surgeryis difficult at least for me it was,but than I'm alot older.A 5 day hospital stay,where the pain was controlled to a much better degree than at home.Get good pain meds for home. Sleeping is really difficult,I stacked piles of soft pillow togather,I slept in almost a sitting position. Also kept a very soft pillow on my chest. Walk, as soon as you canI was up on the first day and walking on the second and I'm still walking. What I found I needed and really helped was someone who had already walked in the shoes I was now wearing. Four months later and here I am now sleeping, taking no pain meds and walking. Going for my first cat scan the end of this month,little bit nervous. Good thoughts and prayers are with you carol

  6. Hi, my name is Carol,I was diagnosed with NS Squamous Cell Carcinoma on October 2nd,2003.from then on it was a whirlwind courtship with cat scans,MRI,Pet Scan and finally a Mediastinoscopy on October 20th and surgery on the 24th.A right upper lobectomy. It's been a hard two months with a bit of pain, the most challenging was sleeping. Christmas Eve My Doctor started me on Neurontin which has truly been a blessing for me. Today writing this post, I'm doing well. Everything happened so fast, I didn't have time to think,it's only now I am beginning to have time for my thoughts and my blessings. We are each of angels with only one wing. And we can fly only by embracing each other. Thank you for this message board.
