Has anyone heard of these supplements that are supposed to "cure" cancer? Just wondering about your thoughts on this.

Thanks so much for all of the information and encouragement. I really appreciate it. Makes me feel good to know that there are so many survivors. I thought that I was handed a death sentence. I now know that is SO not true!

Hi. I am Tami. 39 yrs old. Diagnosed with stage IIIA NSCLC in early July. Since then, it's been a whirlwind. A biopy. A mediastonoscopy. A mediport installed. 5.5 weeks of radiation. 2 rounds of chemo (6 days each) and 2 weeks ago, a lobectomy. More chemo to follow soon. I am EXHAUSTED, absolutely drained. Sore. Tired. Angry. Lonely. And the rest of the time, Optimistic. I hate that I am bald. I hate that my neck, chest and torso look like something out of a slasher film. I hate that I can't exercise, or even walk around for more than 10 minutes without losing my breathe. I hate the way my friends and family talk to me with pity in their voices. But I love that I am alive. And I will fight, fight, fight to stay that way. Thank you for this site. I was so happy to read stories from so many survivors. I found very few people in chemo and radiation that had lung cancer, so I was beginning to think that none of them survived. I'm glad to know that is not the case.
