kimblanchard Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Well, two years ago this week I was diagnosised with BAC with a single brain lesion making me stage IV. I am a life long non smoker in my forties and was virtually symptom free when diagnosised. After two years, I know that even this disease that I have been blessed with the gifts of good health and a good life. My disease in my lung is minimal. We are dealing with the additional new mets in the brain. Just want to take the time to thank you for being here. The path is easier is because you are there.

Donna G Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Welcome Mo. BAC is typically non smoking related. I have met several people with this type. One young Mom who was able to have surgery and a older gentleman who was not. They say this type is particularly slow growing. Glad to have you here.

Fay A. Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Happy Anniversary, Little Mo. I'm sorry about the recurrent brain mets. How are you proceeding with treatment for those? Sometimes we forget that BAC doesn't always stay confined to the lungs, but can met to the brain and other places. Have you checked into any of the vaccine trials going on for BACers? Wishing you well....really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
