Welcome Kyle, First of all, you have joined a group that focuses on surviving. There are so many wonderful people here that are willing to share their stories with you and help in any way they can. You will notice that every case is different. There are no two cases alike and no two cases that respond in the same way, but I can assure you that lung cancer does indeed respond to chemotherapy. Aside from that fact, there are new treatments in the works as we speak. Hang on to that hope and find a doctor you have confidence in. God Bless, sue

Great news Cheryl. Will be watching you to see how things go with the new trial. You have such a wonderful attitude and a positive outlook. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Keep us posted. Hugs, sue

Jim, That's incredibly wonderful news and you are such an inspiration to us all. I'm just so happy for you. Your wonderful news comes at a time when my hubby is heading into 5th line treatment. The battle has been taking it's toll on me emotionally and your post brightened my spirits and put hope in my heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jim. Keep up the good fight and hope you enjoyed that steak. Love, sue

(((TAnn))) , Hugs to you TAnn!! I'm so sorry, you need to go in for more, but isn't it a good thing to have more than one doctor's opinion ? Try to have positive thoughts about this. The rest of your scan results sound great. Know that all of us are there with you in spirit. God Bless you, sue

Guy, Praying Tarceva does magic for you. God Bless, sue

Welcome Debbie, We are glad you have joined us here. None of us want to be here , but we are thankful to have one another. There are people here in all different stages of lung cancer that are doing quite well. There are some differences that you may want to know first. There's non small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. There are differences in treatment and responses of both. You will also see a designated forum for each here. The more information you have about his diagnosis, the better the members here will be able to help you. For now, take it one day at a time and know that this site is wonderful for information and support. I'm sure you will soon know that you have joined a very , warm and caring group of people. Hugs to you sue

((((Angie)))), You ramble all you want to. We all need to do that when those we love are having bad days. This disease is filled with so much guess work and so many unknowns.

Welcome Catlover3, My husband has nsclc, but there are many here with sclc. I have read several stats since I have been here of survivors over 2 years. Read the profiles of people here and you will see for yourself. Remember something else that is so very important... You are you. There are no 2 cases alike. Create your own success story . We will be here to support and pray for you. God Bless, sue

Hi Tariq, So glad you decided to join us. We feel like we know you already. Hope you will come often and share with us in supporting one another.

Hope to hear from you often. God Bless, sue

Hi Sharon, Somehow I know that you and most of us here will appreciate this Thanksgiving in a very special way. So many times, in past years, I may have taken this day for granted , but this year, because I have my hubby to share it with me, it will be a gift from God. I want my hubby to enjoy all the good feelings that come with this day. God Bless you and all of the families here on this day and always. Love, sue

Poor Beth, have you considered writing a book? You have really been put through it , but you have managed to hang on to your sense of humor. Wonder what Don meant by "hang in there" ? See what you started.... lol Have a great Thanksgiving God Bless sue
