Hi Wendy, and welcome to the place noone wants to hang out at. I'm sorry you have the need to find us, but I'm sure glad you did.

Talk and Support and Education & Friendship is what we are all about.

As you can see by my profile below, I too am a lung cancer survivor.

I hope you'll stay with us and let us walk the journey with you. It's so much easier having someone to talk to who totally understands what your going through.

Look over the Forums, maybe you would like to hang out in the Lung Cancer Survivors Forum. Read them over and find what best suits your needs. We're here for you.

You should feel a little better now that you don't have to have your chemo until Oct 29. You know more get to feeling have human and bang here comes the chemo, :roll: but HONEST it's worth every mintue of it to have it work.

Welcome-

You are on a very aggressive treatment protocol that should give you good results. I know it is hard now but try to keep your eye on the future scan when you get some good news. If you read through our board you will see lots of people doing well following treatment, the same can happen for you. I am glad you found us.

Wow, hello from another yet Wendy!

I am glad that you found this site. There are so many positive people that can lift you up when you are down, celebrate with your good news and understand you when you have received bad news.

When my blood counts were low, I started getting aranesp shots every two weeks to boost my blood counts. I think there is another shot for white cells too.

All my best to you, keep us posted on how you are doing,

Wendy
