Nancy,
You have my prayers. I am sorry you are in pain and hope they can find a remedy for that soon.
I think about and pray for you often.

Corinne,
I can't help much but I can say that you have already had quite a bit more than most with your surgery and after. I was diagnosed with the same, IIIA, after having my upper left lobe removed. I (just yesterday) celebrated my 5 years since surgery. You can read my profile below to get all the details but I can tell you that after my initial treatments I have been cancer free.
You had a rough start, but you can do it too. Hang in there and in 5 years I'll wish you happy anniversary.

How old am I? Older than dirt...I remember all of them. Remember the word comsumption? As in disease? I think that was TB. If not, let me know...lol.

Hi Vernon,
I had my upper left lobe removed in 2003 and I am still going strong. In 3 days, it will be 5 years since I got that awful diagnosis and since my initial treatment I have been fine. Glad you joined us.

Becky,
Wow! This is great! I hope we can expect 5 X 5 X 5= lots of years to come hearing your wonderful advice and cute stories. Ya know? I really do need that baseball bat.
I expect nothing but great news.

Jim, I had my left upper lobe removed in 2003. Then chemo and radiation. That was almost 5 years ago and I am still kicking and living life. Hope my profile helps a little. You are very lucky that they can do surgery. Best of luck.
Just one hint about recovery. I slept in a recliner for several weeks because it hurt to lay down. Within a month of surgery I flew to Las Vegas and enjoyed several days having a great time before I started chemo. They tell me that mine will not come back. There is a small chance I will develope something new but I am told that after this length of time with no more treatment and clear scans that the first little beast is gone.

Will continue to pray for Connie and a swift, uneventful recovery. She is a wonderful person and deserves a only the best. Her surgery was long and hard on her so I hope the "coma"(probably drug induced) will help her heal and go home soon.
Thanks for the update, I was worried all day.

Jussi,
I don't know how I missed your first several posts but I am glad I found you today. Welcome to our group. It sounds like you have already started your treatments and I hope you are still feeling well. I look forward to your updates. Again, I am sorry to be so late to reply.

Aaron,
I can't help with any advice but wanted to say that I hope you feel better soon. You have gone through so much and as the advertisement says "you deserve a break today". Know that you and Julia are in my prayers.

Don,
I know you wanted reduction in size etc of the tumor but at least it is still all in the same place. Glad the pred is helping the breathing. When you decide about the Tarceva I sure hope it works. Keeping you in my prayers.

Oh Connie,
I am so sorry to hear this. I hate the idea of your suffering for breath. You are a wonder girl. You have been here for all of us through many ups and downs. Know that I am praying for you each day and hoping that when the surgeon gets back things will change.

Larry, I understand why you may think it is time to leave. I won't say goodbye, as I hope you will come in to visit often. You will be missed. Many times you and your cute jokes made my day.
Have a great life.

I hope the surgery goes well. I would also ask "why not chemo or radiation?" Just have them explain it to you. I feel like a dunce but what is a bulla?

Terry,
I hate it that you had the need to look for us but glad you did. Welcome. I have no idea about the connection between the two problems, so I can't help you there. Just glad you caught the LC and now can do something about it. Keep us posted and I'll keep you in my prayers.

A chemo break sounds like a good one as long as you pay attention to your body and let the doctor know of any changes. I hope your scans are great so that this chemo "break" can be a long one. Enjoy feeling good and have a wonderful rest of the year. Keep in touch.

Dave,
I hate it that you needed to find this board but welcome to our large family. If you have questions there is usually someone or many someones that have been there, done that. Keep us posted.

Great news. Glad to know you are both doing well.

I had a left upper lobectomy in March 2003. When I cough, sneeze or lay in my left side for too long it aches. If I have an onset of bronchitis and cough frequently I end up taking something for the pain. Over the years the pain has lessened and I would do it all over at any time to get rid of that da*n cancer. Your wife is one of the lucky ones to be able to have surgery and I am sure the pain will be very tolerable soon.

Welcome Jussi,
I think you will find much support here and a great deal of knowledge. I am sorry you had the need to find us but glad you did. There are so many wonderful treatments out there now and new ones coming on each week. Let us know how you are doing and what is going on.

Aaron,
Boy, this is sure not the news you need right now..newly weds and all. When I was looking into trials I called MD Anderson's number and talked to their research department head. He sent me a long list of trials but it turned out that I didn't fit most of them. I agree Dr. West might be the best one to help you with this.
Aaron, know that we are all praying for you. How are you feeling?
