Geri,
Congratulations! So glad to hear you are empty headed and NED. As for the birthday part...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are almost as old as I am. Isn't having another birthday grand? I admit I don't like admitting my age but it sure beats the alternative.

I am so sorry about your mother. Its one of the hardest times of our lives when we lose our moms.
As for the funeral...this may sound a little hard but make sure you are not lured into all of the money making gimicks that each funeral home has. It won't help your mother and it really won't help your family let go. Most of it is for show. As for jewelry, we had mother wear hers until they closed the casket and then the funeral director took it off so that we would have it to pass down to future generations. It is comforting now to take her ring out and wear it next to my heart and feel close to her when I am scared or down. When I was dx I wore it to all of my treatments and doctor appointments. It gave me a sense of peace and acceptance. Of course you do as you and your father wish.
I pray for you and your father and family. May you find strength and comfort in the days and months to come.

Being exhausted and even coughing a little more sound like I felt. I did not cough up blood but I see that was happening before the radiation. There is a thing called radiation pneumonitis that can cause cough and shortness of breath. I understand that can happen even months after radiation. I am almost 3 1/2 years out from radiation but I still wheeze and cough. I also feel more tired than before treatments started.
What Ry said about fever and coughing up blood is true. If things are different call your doc.

Andrea,
Great work girl! I finally remembered to mail my check today for 3. Can't wait to get them and share them with two of my friends.

I can't believe it. Unless it was in the first 10 min of the program not ONE WORD was said about lung cancer. I am speechless. I hope they replay it so that I can see that first 10 min ( I doubt it was) said something about us I will write to CNN and voice my concern. They did mention smoking but even that was not related directly to lung cancer.
Sorry guys.

Its 10:10pm in Alabama and on CNN there is a program with Sanjay Goupta and Lance Armstrong etc talking about cancer.
Thought you might want to tune in.

Welcome Deenee,
It seems your dad is doing fairly well with his treatments. I hope the scans give you great results. Lung cancer changes everyone but we call it the "new" normal. Its never the same but can be great to be alive and many lessons can be learned.
Again, welcome to our group.

Every one is different and responds to treatment differently. There is never no hope. He may not live for 20 more years but he may still have plenty of quality time left. Don't give up.
If you would fill out your profile it would help us help you. You will notice mine at the end of my post. That way you don't have to refresh our memories each time you want to post.

We had to make the same choice with my mom over stomach cancer. It is hard to do but I feel its the only choice that makes sense. Mom said she did not want to be on machines and after 2 days we decided she was not going to come off the machine and unplugged it. I am sorry you had to go through the same thing. I know how hard it is to do.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
(written by kids)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like
sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the
chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry.
God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're
stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by
then.
-- Camille, age 10
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the
same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each
other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)
On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that Usually gets
them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers
and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with
that.
- - Curt, age 7
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them
and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone
to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8
And the #1 Favorite is........
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck hit
her.
-- Ricky, age 10

Decaff with skim milk and sweetNlow. I love the taste, the feel of the cup..but I get tachycardia if I drink much of it..even decaff has a little caffeine in it.

I had a different chemo but my veins would hurt. It is still hard for the lab to draw blood out of one or two of them. Could not use my hands had to use the veins higher up on my arms.
