kimd Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Have been visiting board since my Dad was diagnosed. Everyone has been such an inspiration and so glad I found you guys! I have been sharing news w/my Dad since he's not on-line. He quit smoking over 20 years ago and is very active and healthy -- was a shock to my family. We are now appreciating every day and my Dad is resuming normal activities. He's a former career military man and is going to fight this with everything he has. My 6 yr old already wants to be a scientist and find the cure for cancer. I will back him with everything I have on this. Thanks all for your friendship!

Guest DaveG Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Tell your Dad that he is not the only retired military fighting LC. I retired from the Army in 1983, after 20 years, 3 months, and 3 days of service. We kicked butt back then, we'll kick butt again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Welcome Kimd, Please tell your Father that Lung Cancer is considered a service connected disability, and that he should check into this with the VA. Fay A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
