Flyman35 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It was January 29th 2008. 5 years ago the surgeon told Tom he had stage 4 lung cancer. 5 years ago Tom asked the surgeon how much time he had. The surgeon said without treatment we won't be having this conversation this time next year. So Tom said I guess we better do the treatment. 5 years ago we went to the oncologist who stepped out of the box. 5 years ago. Where did the time go? There by the grace of God lives Tom. Thomas Murphy is officially a 5 year, Stage IV NSCLC Lung Cancer survivor. He took a licking but he keeps on ticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md6183 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thank you for sharing - my wife is 6 months into the same diagnosis, and I'll be sharing this post with her. We know that all patients are different, but even one story as this fuels the HOPE muscle. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
