Bette64 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi Everyone, I'm a member here but have found it a little difficult to find my way around . However I like the topic, LC Survivors. In May of this year, I was a 2 year lung cancer survivor. I have a CTscan scheduled for next month, so I'm hoping it will be ok and I can truly say I am in cancer remission. In April of this year, my oncologist only had a chest xray done. I'll feel a little better after a good CTscan. I know Barb and Meadow here so I don't feel alone. I hope to get to know the rest of you soon. Bette - Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovesLife Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi Bette - welcome! Congratulations on being a 2+ year survivor - I reach that goal tomorrow! I totally understand the "scanaxiety" as we all seem to feel that way at scan time; however, like you said, once it is over and the results are good we can breathe a sigh of relief. Looking forward to getting to know you Bette. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce u Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi Bette Congratulations on being a 2 year survivor. I was also stage 1B and had my upper left lobe removed. I am sure your CT scan will be NED as the previous test were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muriel Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi Bette. Congratulations on your two years of survivorship! I can imagine it was a tough two years. I was diagnosed with stage 1B NSCLC in June 2003. It gets easier to deal as time goes on. I'll be a 5 year survivor in 6 days.

recce101 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi, Bette, welcome to the group. I'm originally from Texas -- grew up in West, a little town on Interstate 35 just north of Waco, and went to college in Denton -- but I've lived in Hawaii since 1972. In about 2 months I'll be at the 2-year point, then it'll be time to start worrying about 3 years! It's always something... Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bette64 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks to all of you for your gracious replies. I really feel welcome here. I will be posting the results of my CTscan which is scheduled in July. Please wish me luck and that the scan will be good. By the way, I think I know one of the members who replied here to me ... Connie?? I've seen you around somewhere. Nick, I'm about 100 miles E of Dallas so I know which part of Texas where you used to live. Great to meet you guys, Bette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Yep Bette your right, I've been spotted here, there, and everywhere! Glad to have you aboard. This is a very laid back and kind hearted support group of people here. I think you'll feel a lot of comfort here and right at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bette64 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thank you, Connie. I already feel welcome. I'll try to check out some of the other threads and see if I can find my way around. I know Barb is here and I need to find her again. Have a good weekend, Bette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleHammett Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hi, Bette and welcome aboard. I suspect that "your" Barb is "our" Barb who is Barb73 here and posts articles regularly in the Lung Cancer in the News section. You can "pm" (private message) her by clicking "no new messages" above and entering Barb73 in the "to" section. You'll find this a very warm, sharing and helpful group and I'm very glad you found us. Carole PS I think I remember you from the other board, but I'm not there very often any more, do most of my posting here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
