Connie B Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Okay my friends, this is a CALL for ALL LUNG CANCER SURVIVORS to PLEASE COME OUT COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE!! I know we have more Lung Cancer Survivors on this board then just the few of us who post all the time. I think it would be so wonderful to see more lung cancer survivors here so we can offer strength and hope to all the NEW SURVIVORS that will sadly have to join us one day. How many of you sit here and gain strength from reading other lung cancer survivor posts? I know I do! I don't know what to say to bring more Lung Cancer Survivors to the surface, but I know we need each other and we need to share with others that there are a LOT MORE SURVIVORS in this world then just a hand full of us. Please click onto the Reply button and say hello and share a little about your journey with us. THANK YOU ALL. Warm and Gentle Hugs, Connie ColleenRae, Susan Cornett, mark61 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhutch1366 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 As Connie and Fay have requested, and Kasey and DonnaG seconded, I will stand up and be counted. Stage 3A/B lung cancer, NSCLC, 17 hour surgery, removed 13 1/2 pound tumor; four rounds cisplatin and VP16, two rounds before surgery concomitant with 25 rounds of radiation, and two rounds after. Chemo postponed a month when I collapsed/perforated my large intestine and had to go in for a colostomy. I am a 5 year 11 month survivor. Thank you all my dear friends@@!!!

MurielK Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 2years and 8 1/2 months. Since first dx; 15 mo. since second one. Stage 1B, Stage 1B OR State 1B, Stage IV. I like the first approach better. It's unclear if the second tumor was a new primary or not. My VA oncologist said yes; the ones here don't know.
