  1. Good Afternoon Everyone,

    Lovely spring day,though temps still a bit on the cool side,preventing a comfortable lounge about my back patio reading the papers.Gymming and swimming this morning,Monday evening I had my baptism to outdoor bowling,boy it was cold,but I was well wrapped up in my winter woolies incl hat and windproof jerkin,as expected,I received a drubbing from the other players,but everyone welcomed me generously to my new club,think I am going to enjoy my days here.

    Thoughts of the Hope Summit are never far from my mind just now,lots of prep to do,just to get the digit expedited,I just cannot wait to meet you all at last,though I appreciate not everyone can make it,which is such a shame.One person we are all rooting for, to attend is of course JudyKW,who herself would'nt want to miss this either,prayers said that may allow for a full recovery in her health situation.

    Hi Janet,Congratulations on the arrival of a Yellow VW into your life,you are right,just visualizing the car makes me smile,don't suppose you are going to call it Herbie?.These cars live forever,wishing the same for you.

    Good to see so many buddies rallying around the Morning Air this week despite Judy's absence,I am sure she will be pleased to know.

    Got to go,bye for now.

  2. Hi Lillian,

    Sorry I missed you,our posts kinda crossed with each other.I agree with your comments about LCSC,it was such a comfort to me right from the start when I arrived a couple of years ago.I can never overstate how much support I received from everyone here that lifted me from that dark place my mind was in following my dx.

    Sadly some of our friends have left us,but that dos'nt detract from the many pleasureable memories I have of them,I can still "see" the smiling faces in my mind of Ned,Dawn,Annette and Stephanie,I can only look back at them and smile also.

    The friends we have lost here can never be replaced,but as long as you are here friends, I will be here posting with you,I look forward not back,just thinking about new friends who have just arrived or will do so in the future fills me with optimism that LCSC will grow in strength because of its wonderful history.

  3. Good Afternoon Everyone,

    Still a bit wintery temps outside,too cold to enjoy sitting out back to enjoy a quiet read.Missed the gym today,I had a doctors appointment,this morning,I have this cold for a few days now,bringing up phlegm from my chest and a irritating cough,also blowing my nose first thing in the morning,I have blood on the tissue,feeling a bit uneasy about this,since it matches my symptoms just prior to my LC dx,so thought to be on the safe side,see the Doc,didnt get my fav doc,not available until next week,not surprizing,as she is so popular with everyone.I describe my symptoms to the other doc,she's not impressed,oh everyone I am seeing just now has the same bug she says,she checks my chest,its clear,I re-mention the nasal blood,she dismisses it,I say that was one of my symptoms of my LC,no,no, she says,thats not a link with LC, only if were coming from your mouth?tells me to come back after a week if the blood dos'nt disappear,next please?,well I suppose I should be reassured?.I did,nt even get a prescrition for an anti-biotic

    Went for a drive in the countryside following the doc visit,beautiful scen

    Ooops what happened?how can I rejoin my post?

    ery,lov e to watch the lambs suckling from their Mums,with their little tails going sixteen to the dozen.Following the drive,a visit to the Bombay Palace for a buffet lunch,oh forget the diet,we had a pakora mix to start,which also included little chicken legs and wings,main course tandoori chicken massala ,with rice and Nan bread,as much as you could eat,followed by ice cream,not forgetting a pint of Indian Cobra beer,how much for two persons? £17.15 ($28).Indian food found in Scotland is reputed to be the best in the world,would you beleive.

    Meeting Bill to-night,I am joining his outdoor bowling club,not the best of weathers for it methinks winter woolies will be essential,never played this outdoors before,supposted to be a completely different game to the indoors version,more enjoyable they say,we shall see.

    Hi JudyMI,Glad you have had some information about JudyKW from her son,it really is frustrating not having direct contact with our friend ,I am so concerned about Judy not being up to replying herself,wishing and hoping that Judy recovers as soon as possible to get back in the groove.Wish we had some kind of emergency back up plan,to contact absent members just for re-assurance.i remember one of our former friends Libby from Chicago,who suggested meeting up with me in Chicago last year with her daughter,however for whatever reason Libby disappeared long before we could make final meeting arrangements?.My daughter says this is quite normal for social interaction websites,people come and people go,shame really.

    Thinking about the Hope Summit,cannot wait,think its time to look out my luggage case from the garage,and the stuff to put in it,mind you its not for seven weeks this time,wonder if I should bring my kilt ensemble?

    Bye for now,enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

  4. Good Afternoon Everyone.

    Actually this post or at least what I remember of it was typed up last night,rather a bit long winded I have to add,perhaps God was giving you a bit of a break,since completing it,and pressing the submit button,it just vanished,I was left staring at the log on page,why can I not type this in word ,copy and paste it here,see I am doing it again?.

    Busy day yesterday,I completed my SIGN guidelines draft,and printed it off to share with my fellow layperson on the committee,I met George in Glasgow and took him to the Horseshoe Bar for lunch and a pint.George is a remarkable guy,survived prostate cancer and also pancreatic cancer,which he was dxd with in 2005,remarkable survivorship from such a deadly cancer,he also lost his wife a couple of years ago to lung cancer,which she only survived 8 months after her dx.Little of our conversation of four hours related to the SIGN document,but sharing our respective life stories,George is a polymath I think is the word,a real clever clogs,speaks several languages fluently including Latin and Greek,I have trouble with just English,really fascinating to listen to,our time together just flew by,he has suggested we meet up once a month from now on to continue our new friendship.

    28 years ago yesterday my daughter Jennifer was born,I am meeting her with Chris,his Mum and Dad and two younger brothers tonight,going out for a meal,so looking forward to it.My memories take me back to Bellshill Maternity Hospital,reluctantly I was present to witness the birth,seems this had become the norm here for the modern male,I was more concerned about fainting or throwing up,fortunately I was spared the scene as due to "fetal distress the doc ushered me out the delivery room to the waiting room to take Sally away for a ceasarian section.I had been over the many hours popping downstairs to the canteen for eats and drinks,I was gowned up in my whites,I got the best of attention from the canteen staff on each visit,until one of the ladies asked "Which branch of medicine do you do doctor", me,"Doctor?","I am not a doctor",boy did I get a telling off from this canteen lady,you would have thought I had been posing as doctor, delivering babies,how was I to know you are not allowed to leave the delivery area wearing your whites?.Anyway,at last the nurses bring bring a little Jennifer to me for my introduction,I hold her,feeling a bit awkward,wondering what I am supposed to do now?what if she starts crying?,I remember this feeling again when we brought her home,placing her in her cot,and the fear of,what happens now?,wish I could turn the clock back such blissful days,now impatiently waiting to be a grandad,when all my Daughter wants to do is persue a teaching and acting career,rats.

    Hi Janet,I am so envious of you living by the seaside,I used to take my dog Sam to North Berwick to the beach there its beautiful,always had a dream of buying a house their when I retired,another beautiful spot to visit if you can get to Scotland is a little seaside fishing village up on the Moray Firth along from Inverness called Cullen,I would love to have a holiday home there,maybe if I win the lottery?.

    Hi Dianne,I arrive in WashingtonDC on the 2nd of May until the 8th,i was planning on visiting New York before flying home on the 17th of May,will you be attending the Hope Summit?.Iam so looking forward to this event,meeting you all "in the flesh".

    I still cannot get JudyKWs absence out of my mind,I do hope everything is all right, its just the not knowing thats getting to me.

    Special good wishes to you Judy of MI,nice to read how chirpy your posts are,well done you after all you have gone through and stil are on the road to full recovery.

    Apologies to anyone I may have missed,its not intentional as much as my senile dymensia kicking in.Bye for now,have a great day.

  5. Hi Curleysue,

    Welcome to LCSC,phew, that was quite a story you shared,as for which forum you put it in,all of them if you want as far as I am concerned,it is so worth the reading of.

    I met up with Senator Andy Hill briefly on a LUNGevity Breath Deep fundraising stroll around Lincoln Park in Seattle,he described his lung cancer story to the participants at the end of this walk ,one where the cancer was so debilitating he was scarcely able to get around his home never mind about town,like you a non-smoker,but was prescribed Xalkori which had a wonderful effect of restoring life back to normal.

    Long may your progress continue,one day at a time as they say,may you reclaim the health you enjoyed prior to the arrival of lung cancer.Looking forward to getting to know you,got to go,its indoor bowling night,no, not the ten pin type but an ancient game we play in Scotland (much more skill required LOL)

  6. Good Evening Everyone,

    Almost bedtime here,weather here very changable,spent some time this afternoon visiting my friend Bill,spent some time in his back garden admiring the new greenhouse he had just completed the erection of,looking forward to sharing his produce some months from now LOL.We,that is myself Bill,his wife and daughter were enjoying,a fine sun filled spring day,sitting outside within a couple of hours,it turns cold then heavy rain,run for cover.

    I have been writing up a lung cancer guidelines doc for the SIGN committee I am a layperson member of,just completed and printed off my first draft,meeting up with my fellow layperson tomorrow to exchange notes on each others progress,thinking about submitting a joint document,so no gymming and swimming for me.

    Hi Janet,thanks for sharing such a insightful post,I so indentfy with what you had written,it was almost written as a debit and credit sheet,the contrast of the joys of spring,birds nest building,the laughter of children playing outside,enjoying the company of your children at home,followed by the down side,your kids departing,mood swing downwards,culminating with a reflection of an unwelcome thought,leaving of all things as a conscequence of being a lung cancer survivor.I too have had these thoughts and I am sure most of us here would agree,but such down thoughts that intrude,are ephemeral,they pass as quickly as they arrive.I remember an occassion soon after my dx going to see my daughter appearing on stage in Glasgow's Ramshorn theatre,it was a big role for her,she was so good,I was so proud of her,my joy was suddenly overtaken by the thought this cancer is going to kill me and I will not be here to see anymore of her plays.It was such a stupid thought to let spoil my night,and I promised since then never to let these thoughts undermine me again.I take comfort in knowing there are people who survive lung cancer,my friend Robert, nineteen years now,enjoying every minute of his life,I am totally selfish now my happiness comes first in all things,I do things that I enjoy,and there are so many,sharing with friends and family,nights out,parties,restaurants,holidays,you name it, I am doing it,the boggieman has been put back in his box,and I have thrown away the key.

    Hi Ginnie,I got handed a wee prezzie yesterday that you might have appreciated,complimentary ticket for two to attend a Johnnie Walker sponsored golf tournament at Gleneagles for three days in August,think some big names will be coming,looking forward to it.I am thinking of getting my clubs out of the garage and taking the game back up again,my gym has it own beautiful course and as I am a gym member I get a concessionary fee of £400 for the season.

    Janet you are right,I am a bit concerned about JudyKW absence also,hope she can post soon as.

    Time for bed,goodnight everyone,bye.

  7. Good Evening Everyone,

    Weather today cold and wet,I have stayed at home since my return from gymming and swimming this morning.Both my gym buddies were absent today,so I missed the best part,sitting in the hotel after our exercises sharing a blether and a coffee (the bacon roll is off the menu now that I am seriously on a diet LOL)My buddy Jim had a op last Wed to remove two ingrown toe nails,since he has type2 diabetics,his absence from the gym may be prolonged until his toes heal.

    I had a super easter,Friday,I went to my sister Irene's home,she was looking after Max,we had planned a visit to a country park in Ayr,that could keep Max amused since it has a zoo and adventure play area,alas it was too wet and cold,instead we went out for a meal,then a visit to the cinema to see The Pirates,it was very good albeit I fell asleep mid way through,guess it was the meal to blame?.

    Sunday ABC,lovely easter service,minister Ross was in attendance,but not leading the service,his chemotherapy continues for his brain tumour,he is so buoyant I so admire him,an example to us all.Pm up to my other sister Dot,Jaqueline was there with the grandkids Emma and Jack,great fun was shared by all,we played a new game called Grab-it,bit like scrabble,you make up words by placing letter tiles on a surface,you get points if you can place tiles on top of the word partially covering it to form a new word.

    I have been tasked to produce a document for the SIGN committee which has to be submitted by the end of May,I am meeting up with the other lay person on Thursday to see if we can collaborate in completing the document,our project is to produce guidelines for health professionals (lung nurses and oncologists) as to what should be covered following a LC dx with an individual patient,we have been supplied with the previous 2005 guideline along with guidelines from two examples of other cancers,so hopefully we can produce a good updated version to present.

    Getting close to the Hope Summit,I have started my checklist of things to prepare and pack,I charged up my "American" cell phone just to see that its still working having been kept in a drawer for almost a year,it works.I am so looking forward to this trip,its going to be the event of a lifetime,a chance to meet up with so many friends of LUNGevity,some whom I have already met,others I have yet to.Time to go,enjoy the rest of Easter Monday all,bye.

  8. Gina,

    I am so sorry to hear of Chris's passing,I have so much admiration for you both in the way you fought this disease to the very end,I just wish things could have turned out otherwise.Please accept my deepest sympathy,may you find,love,peace and joy for the rest of your life.

  9. Hiya Julie,

    Welcome to LCSC,its a real pleasure to meet you,I am really gutted to hear of your dx,I can guess how upset you are feeling at the moment,not forgetting your family and friends.From the outset a LC dx is such a blow,but I can tell you,with the support of family , friends and the passing of time you begin to re-adjust and the nerves begin to settle.I did take some time to come to accept my new disposition,and not ashamed to say I accepted the prescribed anti-depessents and sleeping pills to get by initially.

    As my treatments progressed I began to build up a new confidence that I can take on this fight and win it.I found new friends here and elsewhere that I could learn from,one in particular I would like to share with you,I was looking for many weeks a good news story of long term survivors(and not being very successful) when one day I picked up a newspaper which had an article in it about a guy setting up a new lung cancer support group,what enthused me about this guy was his LC story,briefly,dxd with SCLC,in 1993,given 2 months to live,has his treatments,survives,until 2007 he is then dxd with NSCLC,has his treatments,survives,today he is now one of my best friends,he is 72 years young,restored to full health and enjoying every minute . I myself was given by an uncaring GP a unsolicted sell by date of two years max,well that was nearly 4 years ago,thought I would stay around just to embarrass him.

    I wish you well as your treatment continue,looking forward to getting to know you,the others here will be along shortly,what a great supportive bunch they are,I just know you are going to enjoy meeting them.By the way this site is not all about LC,no,we have other forums of the lighter side of our lives,(well we dont want to give cancer too much room in our lives,do we?)can I recommend the forum Just for Fun? not forgetting, Members Photo Album, where you can catch some pics I took of Bonnie Scotland LOL. Bye for now.

  10. Good Evening Everyone,

    Yes,me again,like waiting for ages for a bus then three come to-gether.Sally still unwell today,so out and about yoga,drive, finished up at Jennifer's house in Glasgow ,we had a super time to-gether with Chris and the pup Dodger.I hope Sally is well in the morning as she has a appointment with a surgeon to-morrow morning to discuss a surgical procedure to improve her mobility with her femur and pelvis,a new hip joint has already been ruled out due to the femurs poor condition,they are talking about fusing both bones to-gether to reduce the pain she suffers with both bones grating against each other.

    Oh, on a lighter note, another good line from the film I saw yesterday,wife's remark to husband "When you want to express an opinion,I will give you one".

    Ginny,I think its a wedge for chasing geese.

    Hi Shirley,thank you for your comments,please dont be shy in posting,the more the merrier I think.

    Hi JudyMI,glad to hear you mentioning you are over the worst,best wishes for the chemo on Thursday.Hope you can make the Hope Summit,I would love to meet up with you,as I am sure so many others here will agree also.

    Hi Judy KW,I dont blame you for mixing up 4th and 5th with 5th and 6th,Sat/Sun would have seemed the better option for those poor souls who have to work for a living LOL,well since I will be there fron the 2nd to the 8th,before moving on to New York,the Hope Summmit dates didnt effect me.I do hope to meet Stan,my "American" cell phone number is 804-356-6571,that is if it still works from being lying in drawer for nearly a year.Goodnight all,bye.

  11. Good Morning Everyone,

    Its been so quiet here recently?,anyway,thought I would share a Scottish weather report with you,for the last couple of weeks (almost)we have seen the highest March temperatures ever recorded here (72 degrees F),this morning 6.30am I look out my bedroom window to see falling snow?,Scottish weather, no wonder its always so topical,think I have seen a four seasons in one day here.

    Yoga this morning,I woke up early for some reason this morning,despite not getting to bed until 1am,thinking I will go back to bed for an hour after completing this post.Sally was "unwell" yesterday,so for a bit of peace for myself last night I went of to see a movie,gosh for the life of me I cannot remember,its was all very British,Judy Dench,Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy,all about a group of Brits getting together in a Indian Hotel,dont know how it would go down with an American audience? I did have a wry smile to myself as Bill Nighy plays husband in a marriage that has come to the end of the line,his wife mentions to the group of new friends,"this year is our 40th anniversary,still wondering how to celebrate it?" one of the friends suggests a minutes silence,by the way its my 40th anniversary this September LOL.

    Wishing you all a great Tuesday,I am off to bed,still snowing outside,oh well, back to looking out the winter woollies.

  12. Good Evening Everyone,

    Just about to go to bed,had a really busy day,gymming and swimming,banks and shopping,however finally got to relax late afternoon out in the back yard,soaking up some more of this lovely weather.Scotland is having the warmest March since records began over a hundred years ago,yesterday was 72 degrees F,aparently its a high pressure zone over the UK thats pulling up warm air from North Africa,unfortunately this high pressure zone moves off to the Atlantic on Saturday to be replaced by cold air from the north,so back to my wooly jumpers again.

    Just watched the European Cup quarter final between Barcelona vs AC Milan,goaless unfortunately,but great to watch,the game was played in Italy with the second leg to be played in Barcelona next Wednesday,should be exciting.Barcelona has the worlds best footballer playing for them he is called Messi, a joy to watch and only 23 years old,goodness knows what his price tag is just now ,$250 million wouldnt surprise me.

    Hi Bud,That is just amazing you have managed to come out of that collision with a ladder on the motorway,with only a seriously damaged tyre,I do hope the ladder has been removed.That really could have caused a more serious accident.

    Hi Judy,good to hear you can make the Hope Summit,thats quite a drive in your RV from the Keys to WashingtonDC,Stans bringing a motorcycle too?,how long are you intending to stay?so looking forward to meeting you both.Sorry to hear about this fluid build up problem you have to cope with,its something I just dont understand,where is the fluid coming from?,why does it collect in your abdomen and not be flushed out naturally?.

    Wonder how Judy MI is doing today?she has had such a rough time getting over her surgery and chemo,hopefully she can make a full recovery soon as.

    Bit quiet in the responses today,come on all you lurkers get your quills out and start writing.I am off to bed goodnight everyone zzzzz.

  13. Hi Judy,

    I am so sorry to read of all thats currently going on in your life,this post op period has certainly been an uphill struggle for you,I just want you to know that there is not a day that passes that I dont I think of you and wish that things could be otherwise for you.I, and your many friends here all wish you a speedy recovery.

  14. Good Morning Marty,

    Sorry about the delay in responding to your post,it really is quiet around here,think, well for me here in Scotland , the sudden change in the weather last week from winter,now suddenly its summer ,so its out and about soaking up all that warm sunshine.

    I really am sorry to read about your dx,first off, expirery dates,my GP gave me two years max,nearly 4 years ago,I also have a friend who was dxd with SCLC in 1993,given 2 months to live by his doc,he went on to make a full recovery,then in 2007,he is dxd with NSCLC,again makes a full recovery,today at 72,he is so full of the joys of life and has the energy of people half his age.

    I can only reflect on my experience of treatments,which consisted of 4 cycles of neo adjuvant chemo,to try to reduce the size of the tumour in my upper right lung,to make it managable for surgery,otherwise I would have radiotherapy instead,well the chemo worked and in Jan 2009 I had a upper right lobectomy,since then I have received no further treatment.

    Altima is not a drug I am familar with?you quote only it extending life for such a short time,to make it unattractive for you,by taking it.Are you aware of www.cancergrace.org?this site is manned by a team of oncologists who will answer any question you have about lung cancer,I can recommend you pay them a visit,the service is free and you well receive a prompt reply to any question put.

    Alternative therapies,special diets,special drugs to take,it makes your head spin trying to separate the wheat from the chaff,so many quacks out there trying to exploit vulnerable peoples illness to make a few fast bucks.I do believe keeping to a sensible diet,plenty of fruit and veggies,less red meat,more oily fish,cut down on the alcohol.I have read about the benefits of taking supplementry vitamin D,particularly since Scots dont get enough sunshine throughout the year,I think this is also true for some areas in the USA and Canada.Another bit of highly publicised bit of research to come out recently from Oxford University is the benefits of taking daily 75mgs of aspirin,apparently,this has the ability to prevent cancer cells hitching a ride on blood cells to travel to other organs of the body,seems the longer you take aspirin the more effective it becomes in preventing cancer spread?.

    Sorry to have rambled on a bit,anyway its a pleasure to meet you,and I hope I can get to know you better through posting in here,can I recommend the forum Just for Fun,this is about the buddies here sharing the lighter side of their daily lives,well we dont really want to give cancer too much room in our lives.Bye for now.

  15. Good Evening Everyone,

    Hooray its BST (British Summer Time) the clocks went forward one hour on Sunday at 2.00am,now I am retired I didnt even consider one hour less on my weekend away from work, ha ha.Scotland just now is recording the highest ever March temps,ok dont laugh but late sixities is big time for us,seems overnight we have gone from Winter right into summer,I was out in the backyard,with just my shorts on reading the newspapers drinking iced lime and lemon,I have always been a summer person,I seem to take on a new life,just like all the plants and trees round about me.

    ABC yesterday then up to Dots,meet the kids,got into watching what is called the "old firm" soccer meeting that is Glasgow Rangers vs Glasgow Celtic,a rivallry that goes back over a century.If Celtic won,they have won the Premier League,however game interupted, the kids want to go to Springburn Park to play,it is such a sunny hot day,well we all have to make sacrifices,off we went,we had a super time in the swingpark, also throwing a frizzbie,playing soccer walked around the duckponds,wide variety of birds including a hugh Heron landed within a few yards of where we were standing.Home tired but happy, (Rangers won 3-2)which pleased my BIL and Dot yeah she is a fan too,me? not really much bothered by domestic football,more interested in the big European clashes like Barcelona,Man United etc.

    Tomorrow its yoga and swimming,also re-meeting the financial advisor I met up with a couple of weeks ago,he is going to present to me a portfolio for investing the money I have at present in the bank currently earning 0.5%,I hope at least now I can keep up with inflation.

    Special hello to JudyKW,thats the spirit,when you smile,we do too.Bye for now everyone,my TV prog is about to start.

  16. Hi Judy,

    Its been a full day now since I read your post,hoping by now I could respond with something insightful and worthwhile reading,I guess my brain is still numbed.

    Dawn,Annette and Stephanie,no enough,we have already lost too many friends here,to even contemplate any more premature departures.I dont want to read any more eulogies,obituaries,tributes, what have you,you have to stay girl,I need you -we need you here.

    Since arriving here,I have learned so much about American culture,thanks to everyone ,one expression comes to mind,which I thought appropriate "Get your big girl panties on".We are here to support you in this fight all the way,so keep up that smile,you are going nowhere,well other than the Hope Summit, please.

  17. Good Afternoon Everyone,

    Beautiful sunny day today,busy one so far (its gone 3.00pm)gymming and swimming earlier,then off to the Horseshoe Bar for lunch with Jim and co,

    did I tell you three course meal from anything chosen from the menu £4.25,($6.70),well now back home, just checking my mail,then its out to the rear patio,having retreived my lounger from its winter hibernation from the garage,to read todays newspapers and get myself a tan to show off in the USA in May.Sun will probably be gone by the time I finish this post.

    Indoor bowling at 7.00pm tonight,this finishes for the season next week,so I have only three games left.I have decided to join my friend Bill's, outdoor bowling club whose season starts on the first week in April,which is timely.

    Downside of the change in the weather,its back to mowing the lawn,but not today,thinks its been busy enough for me.

    Well nothing much more to share with you,just looking ahead to my April diary,its like old mother Hubarb's cupboard,hopefully somethings will come along to fill April's days?,well apart from gyming,swimming,yoga-ing not forgetting bowling.

    Still waiting on tenterhooks about the job I applied for,ther front of house,meeter and greeter,think the closing date for applications is the end of March,that would certainly fill some spare hours in April if I am successful.

    OK,sunglasses,suntan oil,papers,check,I am off,enjoy the rest of Thursday,bye.

  18. Hi Nayan,

    Welcome to LCSC,its a pleasure to meet you,you have certainly come to the right place if making new friends,getting experienced support is your intention for posting here,the natives are all very friendly,and should be along shortly.The buddies here are always keen to know all the medical technical stuff of your dx,this helps focus the type of support that will help you on your cancer journey.Knowing if you have SCLC or NSCLC what is your staging,what type of chemo are you receiving,is radiation of surgery being included in your treatment plan?.

    Well this site is'nt all talking about cancer,we share with each other the lighter side of our lives(we should'nt really give cancer too much room in our lives)I can recommend a daily read of the forum Just for Fun,perhaps you will join in the fun of posting to it?

    Got to go,looking forward to getting to know you,bye for now.
