Don M Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Heather: welcome to this group. I am sorry you and your husband have to deal with lung cancer. I am 61 years old. I got lc when I was 59. It is always a bummer when someone gets lc, regardless of their age, but I must say, that I really hate to see such young people getting this disease. You can take heart in that stage 4 disease is treatable in terms of long term survival nowadays. Don M Quote

Don Wood Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Hi, Heather, and welcome to our site. So very sorry that your hubby has LC at so young an age. I, too, am a Redwings fan -- lived in Detroit for four years in the '60's when Gordie Howe was the star and Terry Sawchuk was the goalie. Let us know how we may support you. I have one small personal favor: please do not use pink for your typed message. It is very hard for these old eyes to read. Thanks. Don Quote
