kristiloo Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 My mom was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer last week. She will start chemo tomorrow and find out the results from PET scan and MRI to get definitive dx on limited (hopefully). I have started reading your forums and you seem like a great bunch of supportive people. I also gave her the link, so hopefully she will read and register. Just wanted to post and say hello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryanne Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hi Kristi, Welcome Kristi and mom. So sorry you had to find us, but you have found a great family here who will be with you and your mom every step of her journey. We are always here for support and prayers. Keep us posted in what is going on with your mom. There are so many people here who have been through what you mom is going through and they are doing just fine. Once your mom gets over the initial shock and starts treatment, they she will feel so much better. LC is not a death sentence. So if that is on her or your mind, get it out of there!! Do not listen to stastics as so many people here have beaten the odds. And continue to do so. Again, welcome and know we are always here. If you have questions of concerns, ask away... Take care, Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
