  1. I had surgery, chemo and then radiation. The idea was to make sure any remaining cells were zapped so that the cancer would not spread. I, like Becky, had a node in the mediastinum (sp) that was positive and removed. All the lymph glands on that side were removed. And yes, my heart now has an extra mumur and the remainder of my lung is has scars from the radiation. BUT, and this is a big BUT...I would do it all over again. I have had no treatment since the first rounds and its nearly 4 years since my last radiation. I am upright and look forward to each day.

  2. Don,

    When I first came aboard you were one of the first to respond. You have dealt out some wonderful advice and sent up many, many prayers for us all. I will miss you. I felt like I knew you and Lucie from your words about her. You two were a shining example as to how to deal with this disease with dignity and hope.

    My best to you Don. I hope your new ministry fulfills your need to help others like you have helped so many of us here. Let us know how you are doing and know that you will remain in my prayers.

  3. Rachael,

    It sounds to me like your reactions are normal. First let out the tears, do some digging for information and then begin a new fight. I am so sorry you have to face this and am keeping you in my prayers.
