Thank you Judy. You give me strength and encouragement. Much more than the doctors do....Barbara

Thank you Libby for the words of encouragement. I will try to pull myself together . Being a breast cancer survivor, I know how important these support groups are ... As soon as I digest all of the new information, I will be participating here on a more regular basis. Is there a "chat" room here; or just this posting area??

Hope to become friends and maybe someday you can tell me how you did it.

Thanks again, Barbara

Thank you Cindy ... I am not usually at a loss for words; but it will help to know that I am not alone...

I have just been dx with Stage III NSCLC and I am petrified for lack of a better term. Next month will be my three year anniversary of surviving breast cancer; and I have been feeling wonderful; and then I had an accident at the gym and injured a rib. Didn't do much as they don't do anything anymore for injured ribs. But after 3 weeks or so my breathing became labored so my primary sent me for a chest xray to see if perhaps I had punctured my lung; found something suspicious and headed for PET scan to see what was up; I lit up like a Christmas Tree; so did a bronco-scope and was dx with andrenocarcinoma Stage 3. I can't sleep, I can't think straight .. how did this happen ...???
