ill_rob Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would like to thank the creators of this message board and all of its members for posting both uplifting and informative posts about lung cancer. At the age of 51, I was officially dxed in late Oct '07 with SCLC-LD, but deep down I knew something was wrong back in Jan '07. According to my doctors, I am now in remission. I know this is only the first step in this battle, but I can finally take a deep breath for the first time in 15 mos. I posted this so other people will see that no matter what the circumstance, there is always hope. You need to put your trust in your doctors, friends, family, support groups such as this one and finally the lord. Thank You, -rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Rob, Thank you for your uplifting post. We all need these, and there are so many people who visit, who never post, but who need at least one success story to hang their hat on, and make their own. If one person can do it...so can others. Blessings to you...congrats on the remission...and I am so glad you are joining us...but wish you never had to go through all I am sure you have. Blessings, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ill_rob Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Finished PCI treatments today. Side affects seem worse than initial lung radiation and chemo (tired, nauseous, lost hair again), but hopefully it will be worth it. -rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadawn Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Rob, Glad to hear you have finished your treatment. Hopefully the side effects will ease over the coming weeks. Time to take it easy as you recover. TIP -Get plenty of fluids if you can't eat much !! God bless Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
