Hopefull151 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 My mom was just diagnosed wih stage 3 large cell lung cancer. I guess I have joined this site to speak with people who are feeling the same way I am. I am looking for stories of hope but also I want to know what I should expect from this ugly disease.

Ry Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Welcome to the board. Large cell is not that common (at least on this board I rarely see it) so you may not find many members that can give you information. My MIL had large cell but elected to only have radiation due to her age. She did well with that for about 2 years and died at age 86 from a stroke. Please tell us more about your mom's treatment plan. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
