  1. I learned early this week that I have a large-cell, slow growing cancer and that the "pneumonia" I kept having is lung cancer. I have a tumor in my right lung. The bone scan did not show that the cancer had met to my bones. I have had few conversations with anyone who could help me with information. My doctors said that they would decide to give me or not give me chemotherapy. No discussion of surgery has occured. I am having real problems maintaning oxygen in my blood. I don't know what to expect--although I went though Hodgkin's disease in the 70's, I don't understand the course of this disease. I feel as if I can put up a good fight--but I am aware that this one is a tough one and not to underestimate it. I've been getting sick over a long period. I basically knew that some of the symptoms I had meant something, but was told--oh that pain in your side--there's nothing there, must be a muscle. Huh? It could have tipped the doctors off. It didn't. And I have had mysterious blood oxygen problems for a long time--it wasn't taken seriously until I put one of those monitors on and walked down a hall. Of course, it plunched dramatically and they put me instantly into the hospital. So that's my story. I need to talk to some friends in the same boat. Not such a nice cruise but I can help be supportive to you, and I welcome any news from all of you. Thanks, tiffany1
