Stage IV non-small cell adenecarcinoma with brain involvemeent. I started radiation therapy yesterday for that. I guess from here on I'll post in the correct forum, but I wanted to update everone here since you've been so encourging.

Maryanne Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi Gracie, Iam sorry about your diagnosis, but a least there is a plan. Just remember there are many people on here just like you who are stage IV and their treaments worked for them. Hang in there, keep the faith and pray that your treatments will work. If not then they will have to fine one that will. Prayers sent to you Gracie, Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen335 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Gracie, Thanks for the update. Did they say how many brain mets? Reason I ask is, I had brain met twice and am considered IV. Had surgery twice to remove them. If you want to talk, send me a PM and I can share my experience. Your in my prayers... Hugs, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrhodes Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi, Gracie. I will be thinking of you, and I just wanted to let you know I'm a couple of hours away in Missouri. Where are you going for treatments? My husband and I spent a lot of time at St. Luke's. They are wonderful, as are many other institutions in the KC area.
