Guest Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I have been lurking for ahile and finally decided to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with stage 4 nslc adenocarcenoma in 3-03. I have undergone 6 rounds of taxotere and tarceva with no sucess. Currently my primary tumor in my right lung has collapsed 2/3 of the lung. I am undergoing 20 radiation treatments to shrink the tumor and reexpand the lung. Up until this last setback I was working full time. I have now decided to file for social security disabilty. I have been encouraged by the stories here and pray for all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
