recce101 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi, Steve, and welcome to the LCSC! Please help us help you by starting a chronological profile of your wife's symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, test results, etc. Click "My Profile" at the top of the screen, scroll down to "Signature," enter/update your information, and ensure that "Always attach my signature" is marked "Yes." The collective experience of this group is unparalled. No matter what it is, if it's something related to lung cancer, someone here is certain to have "been there done that" and ready to lend a hand. My very best wishes and Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
