I just wanted to give a special post to those on here who have lost a parent(s) to LC or anything else. Have a good day with loved ones and friends; think and talk about the parent(s) who've gone on. Give thanks for their lives and all they did. Thoughts and special prayers for you today. Grace & Peace, Kelly

Thank you Don!!! Kelly

I wrote this to countdown@msnbc.com. I hope I get a response too!!! I just wanted to let MSNBC, Mike Taibbi and Keith Olbermann know that I really appreciated the segment on 11/16/06 regarding quitting smoking, spiral CT scans and lung cancer. I know that I speak for many survivors, caregivers, medical professionals and all of those who have been touched by lung cancer. My mom has stage IV lung cancer and has been fighting it for 2 1/2 years. She smoked for 45 years!! One of the most medically responsible things I have heard in a long time was Mike Taibbi stressing that for right now he is fine. I think too many people get a clean bill of health and keep smoking until it's too late. Lung cancer kills more Americans per year than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined!!! More non-smoking women are being diagnosed and it may possibly estrogen related. There is so much info out there that can be used to educate Americans! Thank you again!!!

My mom was on from July 2005-October 2006. Now on to Alimta. Kelly

Research, research, research!! Check the clinical trial and new therapies links on here and other sites as well. Gather as much info as you can. I was on the phone with a clinical trial coordinator at Cleveland Clinical in the summer about the HKI-272 trail just gathering info if we needed it in case Tarceva quit working. (it has and we on to Alimta) I am alwys armed w/ questions for onc. appts. The great people here will give you lots of ideas for treatments and what to ask. Good luck!!! Kelly

Researchers Report New Cancer Treatment November 2, 2006 MEMPHIS -- U.S. scientists have developed an effective treatment for the eye cancer retinoblastoma, which they say causes no side effects common in standard chemotherapy. The scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., demonstrated in a mouse model the new, locally applied treatment that greatly reduces the size of the tumor. Furthermore, the researchers say their treatment also appears to be suitable for certain forms of breast, lung, prostate and colon cancer, and is simple enough for widespread use, even in countries with limited resources. A report on the work appears in the current issue of the journal Nature. Copyright 2006 by United Press International
