stand4hope Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Oh David (and Karen), I am so sorry to hear this. I do know how you feel. That's how we felt last June when we learned that in addition to the lung and brain, my husband had it in his spine, pelvic area, shoulders, ribs and bones, and also the pericardial and pleural effusions. In his case, it was probably there since dx, but no PET scan was done since there weren't problems in those areas and treatment would have been the same anyway. Please borrow some hope from the fact that his cancer is still there, but stable, and he is doing well, and also that small cell is even more receptive to chemo than non-small cell. You could be NED in just a few short weeks. A person has to grab hold of hope ANYWHERE they can find it. Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roseymac Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 David, So sorry to hear this. This small cell is so sneaky, Doesn't seem to want to give you a break, but just think of it as another bump in the road, and get ready for the fight again. You are young and strong, and small cell is weak and runs for the hills, from chemo and radiation. You and your family are in my prayers.

Remembering Dave Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Bumping this to the top. I'm scared, scared, scared. Dave is not doing so well. He hurts all over and is down in the dumps, an understatement, Not like him at all. I'm sitting here in the dark alone thinking, we need to take deep breaths and start another big fight! faith is awake, gotta run!

ginnyde Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Karen What can we all do to get Dave to put on his boxing gloves and start fighting? I am sure he is sick and tired of being sick and tired but we've got to kick start him to get back to the fight. How is your Mother doing? I think of you often and pray for you always.
